    The part banning personal imports has not been commenced. It is still possible, legally, to get an article 7 and import it yourself. I'm working on this at the moment.

    Sneaking suspicion says it'll never be commenced. I say roll on anyway.

    It's mooted to be commenced in January.

    As for the handling fees, you'll see soon enough what the costs add up to when you go about importing yourself :(
