Looking at importing some bullets from the USA.
Plan to use the above firm having met them a few years ago in the UK.
Prices seem good plus they have bullets that nobody in the UK or EU stocks.

Just wondered if anyone here had used them?
More interested in the UK side of the equation, re tax & duty (FMJ bullets so no issues there)

We have used them several times without issues, just make sure you max out your weight allowance and yes you are liable for VAT and the duty at our side.

Not a worry about the weight.
200 bullets should be close to max. allowance

What's the import duty on bullets?
(2nd-hand mind, pulled surplus)

It is a flat 20% according to HMRC regardless of what you and Mike might think, and don't forget to factor in your eight quid on top plus his 15% export certification fee.
