Hi Mate,
Just imported 2 myself and i am sorry to say no duty and vat have to be paid. as well as dock fees (unloading,storage,etc). Unless anybody knows another way.
Cheers stu

No way around it if you ever want to register it in this country as you need proof that duty has been paid in order to get a UK reg, look for posts on the 5% BTI tariff, theres a few of those recently.
