<p>I recently got a shipment from Denis Welch Racing. I don't
remember the shipping cost, but it was relatively trivial compared
to the cost of the parts--around $100 IIRC--but the largest parts
were a cam, an oil pump and a box of pistons. It was sent via
UPS, who collected another $37 from me; probably for customs. One
silly thing is that DWR had to send a small bottle of cam lube via
the postal system--too scary for UPS I guess.</p>
<p>The idea of a VAT gets kicked around sometimes in the 'States; if
it was in lieu of some of the other taxes we pay--often disguised
as 'fees'--it might be a good thing overall, but I'm sure our
government would just add it to all the others. After all, our
congressmen need large pensions and the best health insurance
money can buy (both parties).<br>
