It is a killer for them too!
Who knows it may result in...
May be able get a step kit set but with the import taxes, duties etc. for this country (VAT rate is 19%!) it will not be suitable for most pockets here I reckon.
Vat rates going to 20% here in the UK soon
Are you kidding me?
Here it is 19% for ages! Belgium has 21% not long ago, so most people of Belgium go shopping in this country, easy, cheaper and convenient.
I have just noticed the hmrc.gov.uk website where it shows the vat increase in the UK.

Vat was 17.5% before.. then it went down to 15% recently due to crap economy.. now it go back up to 17.5%, soon it go to 20%
I think Denmark has the highest.. 25.5%
Cammo it is Sales tax...
You'd know it as GST? somethign like 10%?

Yah, Oz has 10% goods and sales tax (GST).
Imported personal goods are not charged any tax (GST or VAT etc) here.

They are really nice, but a bit pricey for a 400, but not that dear as far as aftermarket rearsets go. How much are Gilles for example, they're about £370, Sato's are over £400 so they are about right IMO.

That price is about right for a trick set of quality aftermarket rearsets.
Superlite on here has a very trick custom setup that was made for an RC, titanium parts and all.
