I had the same issue too when I bought a set of their steering arms so I had to arrange a buyer there to ship here. The trouble with that is you end up paying their VAT, luckily when I did it I didn't get hit up with any additional costs in Canada.
I find it frustrating when a business advertises that the will export then you talk to them and they tell you that they do export, just not to you. _________________ Anglia 100e modified

We've had this issue before in the past forum discussion. Has to do with insurance stipulation B.S. Some businesses and car clubs in GB won't sell suspension parts to N.America customers because of liability concerns.
There are some businesses that will sell directly to us. i.e. Milton, Small Ford spares, 105speed, Teamdeville, Newford parts, to name a few. Teamdeville has performance parts like Milton. Pete |

The 105E club in the UK states they will not ship to N.America, but they sent parts to me, no problem.

You could use a service such as this to get your goods I would imagine
https://www.forward2me.com/
Just got it off Google, it's a mail forwarding service. |

That's an option, I guess, but you'd be stuck paying the 20%? VAT |

I'm pretty sure if the sale is outside of the U.K., you're excluded from VAT. However since you are having the goods shipped first in the U.K. and then shipping the goods out of country, you are considered a reseller and thus still subject to VAT taxes. _________________ '69 Cortina GT

European forwarding address might be excluded from the 20% ? |
