Just sending some bits to germany, hopefully this is correct;
Rules-of-Origin now apply to all imports and exports – basically, if 55% or more of something is made in the UK or EU, then duty won’t be charged. It gets quite complicated working out what “made” means, and this is a problem for many bike companies who make frames in the Far East and use mostly components also made in the Far East.
So if I'm posting a 20 year old mtb frame that has "Handmade in the USA" written on the seat stays, from France to UK, then it's going to get charged duty on it ?
