R380 from UK

[Stork]

Okay, looking to import one (r380) so far its looking good, does anyone know what sort off import taxes are added (duties) to a rebuilt transmission. I checked the findhts.com (this is where one sees what % is taxed) but they had a N/A next to transmission.
Has anyone imported a transmission or transfer case or engine for that matter from the UK?
Thanks for any information in advance!

I have imported an engine, tranny etc. It was a bit complicated finding someone to ship. There are companies that do the shipping for you but you will have to pay their prices for the transmission.
I did mine privately. I won the tranny on ebay.uk then shipped it with a company called 1st Move. Fortunately, I was able to ship as personal effects so there was no customs to pay.
