Hi - I'm looking at importing a bike from the UK at a cost of GBP£649. Does anybody know what way I stand in terms of paying VAT etc? Thanks
 
Is it a motorbike or a push bike.?

A motorbike would attract VAT & VRT, whereas a push bike would not attract any taxes

Why would a "push bike" not attract VAT? Presumably when the bicycle is bought in England Vat is charged on it.
 
Its a push bike. I was told that I may have to pay the duty by somebody and that eliminates any savings made by purchasing in the UK.
