    But by your definition they aren't complete as the wheels aren't on it, so again, what was your point?

    The manufacturer declares to customs that it is a complete bike and therefore pays the duty for a complete bike no matter what state of assembly the bike in the box is in.
    I know this, cyd seems in total denial.

    There is no import code for an unassembled bike anyway!

    Not specifically for bike parts but for components to be assembled in to a product in the UK.

    But then they have to come in in packages loose, so not assembled at all, check the EU codes!

    Nope. You can get away with sub-assemblies otherwise things like circuit boards would be taxed as a complete products product rather than a component to be assembled.

    I'm referring to the bike import codes!
