Is O-Ring Monkey good, I was looking at them but didn't know if I'd encounter any fees through customs

It's been recomended to me a few times but ive not needed to use them yet, so can't say about import tax, it would be pretty cheap as there light.

What do u need o rings for? It could be worth asking on here or giving a uk paintball supplier a ring, there are always spares floating around.

I just wanted a set for a 2010 PMR as a back up in case something goes wrong... I seem to have misplaced the spares that came with it.

Import tax is not a weight tax, you'll get taxed on the value of your import not the weight. That being said orings are cheap so don't worry about it.

you wont get import duty on a batch of orings

If the import is less than £18 the chances are you won't get hit for VAT (which is what you usually have to pay on import rather than import duty). Technically, if the item isn't a gift, duty is payable on any amount, but often they seem to get through.

Above £18, you may well have to pay VAT at 17.5% on the whole amount, including the shipping. Whoever deals with the import, Parcel Farce etc., will also want a good slice of moolah for doing all the paperwork for the customs and excise, and this handling charge is often about £13.

I bought my Tippy A5 from a guy in the States off ebay (as they can sell markers on it there) and got a good deal even allowing for VAT and handling charge.

If the price difference between USA and UK is smallish, I wouldn't bother, at least not until the pound is stronger again (bought my A5 at about 2:1).
