Custom Charge Advice

Can anyone please tell me the custom charge on £678 frame form the US?

I know VAT will add an extra 17.5% but what else will I be charged?

Reckon it'd come to less then £1243?

If you add around 44-49% for VAT, customs, delivery and import tax.

So yea it would still be a lot cheaper.

44-49%? :? Last time I checked 4.5%, 17.5% then usually £10 courier charge.

No way that much, have ordered stuff from the states, DVD's but the same percentage applies.

22% is correct found a website that calculates custom charges. With delivery I'd save £200.

Anyone heard of these guys?:

Dunno, found a website that explained it, probably read it wrong by the sounds of it.
