    If the item is being shipped from a EU member then there's no import taxes etc.

    Euro optics are based in the USA so you will have to pay vat and import duty.

    I bought 2 scopes from them. you will pay tax and import duty on them. it usually works out at 30% of the price including postage.

    example. if your scope is 950 and postage is 50 you will pay about 300 tax and import.

    Or you could just have a friend /cousin /long lost aunt bring it home for ya in a suitcase ,as long as its not on the restricted list ,and of course have them go up to customs on arrival and throw 300 quid to them :eek:,you'll save on the postage that way:D.
