VAT, 17.5%
Payable if the goods are worth more than ?18.
?480?? Ouch, that's not some small order you made!

Ah... I actually work with GW and we get a certain discount on own products, I really can't talk about it but the price I paid was a reasonable bit less than it would have cost me otherwise. Thats how I was able to afford to by so much basically, accept I'm now wondering how much they declared the stuff to be worth on the customs forms - would they have put the value I paid for it? Or the value it'd cost normally?...

You should pay VAT at 17.5% plus import duty which is probably about 2.5% (it varies between different things), this would be paid on the whole amount of the order including postage. Then there's the administration charge, which seems fairly high in this case.
I would have thought they should have declared the value you paid rather than the actual value.
Hopefully that will give you some idea as to whether what you've been charged is correct, I believe there's some sort of appeal system if you believe you have been overcharged.

You may find these links useful

Duty is charged on the price paid for the goods including any local sales taxes plus postage, packing and insurance costs.
This is charged as a percentage of the value. The percentage varies depending on the type of goods and their country of origin.
Basically you can query the charge, but from the sounds of it it might not do much good.
Of course GW US may accept the order back.

Duty is charged as a percentage of the actual value the goods are worth, not what you paid for them, as gifts are subject to duty as well and you generally don't pay for them!

Can anyone explain to me how these things are worth the extra points to replace one of your bike stands? Surely you are better off taking Land Speeders?

Well, in the Pdf in the Vault, it does say it costs 25 points per attack bike, but in the rulebook it says that they are free. So, there you go.

They are now free as an upgrade, and you lose 2 points of close sombat for a 30cm 5+ AP shot. It depends on the role that you intend for them. A few will make your bike formation a bit more frightening at medium range, but I have not got any as I only have a single formation of bikes.

I actually like the combination they're putting in the new blister packs (4 bikes, 1 attack) bike. I use them to place a blast marker on an enemy formation i'm going to assullt. (with another formation)
eg during turn 1 put bike on double to get them into postion for assault next turn, and fire at an enemy formation to place a BM on them. Assault that formation with something in charge range (eg troops in a thunderhawk). Bikes lend support fire if possible.
Turn 2, charge in with the bikes to mop up any survivors  .

Bikes will be metal copies of the previous plastic bikes ? And Attack Bikes will be the metal E40K version ?

No, Bikes will be slightly altered versions of the attack bike, um, BIKE (ie an AB without the sidecar) so they look more like the 40K version.
That wasnt very clear, but I hope it made sense....  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
