Importing Spare Parts from Europe

[Methvano]

2009 LS 600HL dash screen just stopped working, no reason just stopped, old age likely!

The search was on for a replacement and found on eBay and part was located in Estonia. What I did not realise was that import duty would need to be paid.

Therefore a part which was for sale £253.76, which seemed reasonable given the rarity, ultimately cost a further £110.53 in import duty and taxes. So good to be outside the EU!

Most members are probably aware of this addtional cost levy but thought I would flag it for information. By the way the part works really well and I was happy to install myself which gave a great learning curve for me on how all of the instrument clusters operate.
