Title: Urgent, calculating import duties from US to UK

Does any body know what the import duty rate is for bringing in items from the US? the items will be secondhand data terminals - so electronics, computer related, they are whole units and will have a total value of around $40,000.

Last time I imported something (a shotgun), I phoned the Customs & Excise and they told me what the duty would be.
Can't say what the duty is on electronic goods - appears there is a different duty for different articles, so give them a ring.

But Del was importing a shotgun, they probably didn't want to upset him.

Is worth "shopping" around for the relevent import code number for the goods. Mains powered stuff charges a higher rate than less than 60v.
