Anyone imported to UK?

HI 

 

As the title suggests I am looking for anyone who has had experience of importing WINWING products to UK. I am looking to purchase the Throttle , Takeoff and Combat Panels and wanted to understand the UK tax / Shipping Fees and Timescales.  Has anyone got some experience in this?

You will pay import duty of 3.5% and VAT of 20%, on the total cost you pay which means items and postage, plus the handling fee by the shipper e.g. Fedex 

Asus ROG IX | Intel i7-9700K | RTX 2080TI | G.SKILL 32GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM | Samsung 970 EVO 2TB M2 | LG 43” 4K Monitor | TrackiR | Stream Deck XL | Warthog HOTAS | Cougar MFDs x 3 | Saitek Rudder Pedals | Logitech G13| Corsair Virtuoso Wireless Headset |

This may be too late to be useful for you, but perhaps is interesting for others who are considering Winwing products.

 

I recently ordered their Orion HOTAS after years of clinging on to my Sidewinder FFB2 stick. I was charged about £90 by FedEx today for import duties (£78 import tax + £12 min. handling fee). This was on a purchase that was $500 + $69 shipping. I don't have an exact conversion rate as it was paid for using US dollars already in my PayPal account.

 

Interestingly, FedEx have delivered 3 of 4 of the boxes this morning but kept one back pending the payment, so I have the throttle base, joystick base and grip, but no throttle handles yet!

 

Overall, the final cost is likely close to £500 which is reasonable given the issues and concerns I've read about with the TM Warthog which is a little over £400 and has fewer switches and a gimbal that can wear out etc.
