Import duty is 2.5% on value of goods + shipping if valued between £135-£630. Below £135 no import duty is payable.

VAT is 20% on value of goods + shipping + import duty if valued more than £15.

Nengun like 90% of reputable businesses will declare value as insured value. i.e. amount paid.

I'd there really a big difference between apexi filter and eBay filter? Doubt it.

Just removed mine and realised its a fake.

Engine in the previous car ran 1.1 bar but since I put it in this car and fitted the filter it only makes 0.9 bar. I put it down to the longer exhaust system but not so sure now. Fake filter has a 10mm smaller intake into the hard pipe and a step, could this be losing my boost?

I bought a fake off ebay un knowingly and when fitted after a short time it started to limit boost drastically. I fitted a camera to monitor the filter when driving and it was starting to be sucked inside out when coming onto boost. Bought a genuine one from part box in the end and never had a problem since. :thumleft:
