all three of those mentioned in the OP are great dealers... they all have varying degrees of value, but all are above board and upstanding.

The problem is it needs to be insured and that value is declared on the Customs Form so Vat and Import Duty will need to be paid!

Import duty and VAT render it non viable.

just get a bloody export company to "export it" and claim back the vat and resell it back to you for the net price with a 50 quid admin charge as their margin. laws are made to be broken just need to be creative
