Originally posted by Glorfindelrb In France no import duties for bodies but you have some for lenses. It might be the same in UK.
When I bought my K5 iis I had checked the UK Gov website and it led me to believe that there were no duties ( other than VAT ) to pay on all photographic equipment. I imported 2 lenses ( DA 50 and DA35 ) on the same order and the total seemed to agree with that.
I do remember that the VAT is payable on the whole price including shipping.
There may have been a small handling charge of about £9
