when i got my headlights from japan they were down as £300 and i paid £100 on taxes and handling fee, so you would be looking at an extra£50 if you said £145.

Fedex billed me for taxes on a 15000 yen package, cost me £30 for the privilege :(

£135 is like 22000 jpy. How did they tax you if you were under the value limit?

I've never paid taxes on parts from Japan, and some of my orders have been nearly £1k a time, weird.

The mounts cost 19000 jpy, the import limit is apparently 22000 jpy & in the end I got £29 in charges before DHL would deliver it in the UK.
