WCLW stopped issuing "cheaper" invoices after a carb went missing and they could only claim on the insurance for the amount stated on the paperwork. If you do get stung (I did once out of three) you'll get import duty plus VAT plus a handling charge, Fedex seem to be the worst, but Parcelforce also stung me.
PM me if you need a quote for any Mikuni gear, I don't want to get into an internet flame war.

Not sure it'll be much help as it was on an Imola with reed valve but here you go.lambro63 wrote:corrado could you forward the settings on your tmx 27 set up please i am thinking of marrying one to a standard 200
Engine: Imola 186 kit.
Carb: THX 27 MM Mikuni, ran open mouthed.
Set up: Needle 5EL68-3
Pilot 20
Main 250
Power jet 60
Exhaust: ScootRS pipe.
Think I'd go with the TM24 though for a standard(ish) 200.

On the subject of duty etc...
My Mrs just ordered some material from the States, total cost, around twenty quid. She has just received an invoice from Parcel Farce for another £20. Thinking that a tax rate of 100% was a bit steep, she range customs and excise and they told her that the VAT was £3 and the rest was a "handling fee" charged by Parcel Farce. Cheeky feckers!

Just checked all my mail for January and I'm sure I've replied to everything, well apart from sending someone a picture of a seat frame which I'd forgotten about and just noticed. It's best to PM me on the forums as those messages don't seem to go astray or get dealt as spam. Sorry about that.

UK import handling..£62.50
Import service fee £52.00
Port security fee £3.50
UK customs clearance £45.00
Use of VAT deferment charge £25.00
Terminal charge £37.50.... All on the same invoice..
I think they make the feckers up to amuse themselves.
