This has been a point I have thought over long and hard ever since I was also stung by UK customs on something I thought an unfair and excessive charge. OK, you can buy CS parts and have them shipped - and by their very nature you would want them insured as they are rare and costly - BUT... is there no loop-hole, such as if the item is deemed 'broken' (like a box full of spares 'legally' could be) then no (or very little) tax needs to be paid?
Just a thought..
Cheers,
TOM
