[quote name='Platypus' post='848953' date='May 26 2010, 08:44 PM']No VAT or any other taxes are payable when importing to UK from Denmark VAT would only become due when importing from outside of the EU[/quote] Thanks for clarifying that!

[quote name='molan' post='848762' date='May 26 2010, 05:12 PM']Hey Boom - do you know if a bass imported from Denmark is subject to VAT & Import duties when it hits the UK? I've been told by someone in the past that there were additional duties on a Danish import even though Denmark is in the EU [/quote] Hi Molan, I actually don't know, but I do know that I have bought quite a few basses in the UK, and they have never been subject to any VAT or import duties. Overall, I find it very hard to imagine that you'd have to pay anything, and I am sure that VAT is definitely out of the question. Import duties also sound unlikely within the UK - that's the whole idea, right? Free movement of goods, services and workforce... I have shipped a few basses to Germany in the past, and they were never subject to additional taxes neither.

[quote name='lozbass' post='844858' date='May 22 2010, 08:14 AM']Hmmm...not for long! If I remember correctly, VAT is 25% in DK and duty around 5% - so around £4.3k to get a KBP into the UK? This makes the antigua precision an absolute bargain![/quote] VAT in DK is 25%, and tax is 3%, but accumulated it is 28,75% plus they add a standard £21 administration fee. So, as I said, importing a new KBP5 into Denmark would cost $4831 (given the shipping cost is $400), which roughly equals £3360 (plus the £21 fee). But still, an absolute bargain - and one I am still monitoring quite closely... ;-)

Bump...

What's the price in case of a straight sale?

[quote name='molan' post='843449' date='May 20 2010, 07:32 PM']Do you know which pre-amp this has? Doesn't look like the Greengrove active units he uses these days/[/quote] Nope, it's the CP-I, the predecessor to the CP-IIIA that Chris uses currently (which is not identical to the Greengrove, BW). It sound a little different, but just as good, IMO.

[quote name='molan' post='843325' date='May 20 2010, 04:39 PM']As Loz mentioned earlier, the list on these from Jimmy is now up around the $5,000 mark without shipping or import duties etc.[/quote] I recently required prices from Jimmy, an according to the list I got, a KBP5 Standard is $3,345, but he said that shipping to Denmark would be around $400 (which means no USPS, I guess), so in total and including custom duties (in Denmark) the final price would be a staggering $4,831. But that is including shipping and taxes... (Danish taxes and VAT, though, and I think that is more reasonable in the UK). However, this bass is still an incredible bargain. Had I not had an LM5 on the top of my list - and bought one just last week - I would have taken this one!

[quote name='molan' post='807135' date='Apr 15 2010, 12:52 PM']Hi Boom, I have to ask the usual question about how much it weighs? I've seen Celinders varying from between 11lbs down to just under 9lbs so there's quite a big variation [/quote] I don't have a scale right here, but it is much lighter than the other Celinder I had up for sale recently. I'd say around 9 lbs. 10 lbs. tops.
