This is the grey colour. The photo does not do justice for the actual colour. Nor does the colour on the website! It's more like a deep grey bordering blue.
Regarding duty just ask Viking to mark the value lower. The duty you should pay is 4.7% of the declared value then 20% VAT of that total. Customs made a massive mistake by misreading the declared value writin very clearly so I had to pay £325 charges :(
I know I can get the money back because it's an obvious mistake but just so annoying!!!! It will take up to 8 weeks to get a refund.... Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
