Hi all,
This is my first post so Hi and Happy New Year etc ...
First off I don't have a Miata or MX5 etc.. but I have fitted the 1600cc engine and gearbox out of a Miata/MX5 in my Clubmans/Lotus 7 style kitcar.
I'm planning to fit a Megasquirt (I currently have the original Mazda ignition/injection system fitted) as a standalone system and was looking at the DIYAutotune website for prices etc...
I intend to use a Megasquirt I Pcb3.0 with MSnS-Extra. I'll do the mod's to use the CAS and the stock ignitors as per the info' on the DIYAutotune website.
The problem is I'm in England. Hence I'll have to pay local Customs duty on top of the DIYAutotune prices.
My main question is has anyone here imported the DIYAutotune kits?
and if so can you tell me how much I should expect to pay for Customs duty?
Thanks for your help and keep up the good work

Edit:
For import duty you're looking at *roughly* adding a third onto the cost that you paid for all of your kit.

Customs into EU: not much (1-3% if anything)
VAT: 17% (in UK, 25% here) on top of all costs (stuff+shipping+customs)![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Some assembled kits here:

Our VAT is 17.5% add on all the other charges and you'll end up with about 30% of the price you paid for the kit.
Just do it, unless you know someone travelling to the states you can't really avoid it unfortunately :( I took the hit too, it's not so bad as the costs are spread over a few weeks

Hi mate, I do hope that you finally get your MS, the price he will give you is actually worth it as he WILL support you even on a cold Saturday night. I know who he is because you asked him for my email (Dimitris). Cheers,
Jim
