    Hello - I was wondering what the import duty on a new bicycle that I want to purchase in the US (it will be delivered by international courier).
    the bicycle costs $450 and the shipping cost is $175.
    incedently - the same bike costs €1000 in europe.
    Thanks in advance.

    Probably around €120,I got an item from the US recently at a similar price and that what I paid.(21% of total price including shipping + €13.5 fees and then 21% VAT again on the fees !)
