Instead of sticking with the old rules where goods come into the country and the 'Import Dues' are worked out and you settle before delivery, they have set it us so the seller has to register with the UK and with a UK bank to pay the VAT thats included in the price you pay, and the slightly lesser import taxes are thn applied as before.
The issue is that a ;lot of overseas sellers cant be arsed to register and set up banking to pay the VAT owed to the Treasury as its a huge hassle for a small form.
hence the sellers of a lot of niche bike bits are no longer selling to UK and if they dont have distro in UK/Europe yer fecked.
