• So long as they are "made in the EU" they qualify under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the UK and the EU and are exempt from import duty.

    You will pay 20% UK VAT on both the frame and delivery cost plus potentially a small handling fee from the courier.

    They shouldn't charge you German VAT but that all depends on how they are set up for exports.

  • Getting out of my area of expertise I'm afraid, the vat never gets charged on the stuff I'm importing.

    I don't know how easy it is for an individual to claim back vat, must be possible though.
