Hello, does the equipment you supply out of the states come with BSP threads throughout or NPT as is usual on the American m/c's I have come across

How much tax and import duty would we need to pay on top of the purchase price though?

The equipment comes with NPT and quick couplings.


Andy,
We can give you a complete quote to pick up the
equipment package at the airport. (delivery is available
for an extra charge) we do not know the Vat charge on your end,  but we do know that there is a charge to clear customs,
incoming airline handling charge and a small fuel surcharge.
It would be our pleasure to help you or others with
an equipment selection and complete pricing except for Vat.
The percentage that they charge for Vat should be available
through your local taxing authorities.
After all is said and done our equipment is of high quality
and there will be a savings after all charges.

If the threads are NPT it would give us a problem sourcing parts locally, they would need to come from the States as everything comes with BSP ( British Standard Pipe ) over here

The Pump is Made in Italy as well as the Chemical injector that is threaded into it.  I have customers that have converted the quick couplings that we have in the US, to the ones in the UK.

They can also be converted to 22mm twist connectors.

We have sent many over to not only England, but to Scotland, and Norhern Ireland. There has never been a problem with the fittings, or with quality, for that matter.

There are many references available throughout the UK.

Our Company has been shipping worldwide since 1978.

We take pride to earn business with our quality of products, and service.

Hi all

Shipping from the states is no big deal
the easy way to work out the vat and handleing charges is

lets say equipment and shipping came to £1000 pounds, add 25% to that price = £1250. and you will get your total price delivered to airaport
and cleared.

If you think fittings will be a problem buy the equipment with out fittings
and fit your own when you get it.

The quick couplings that we use are reliable and also cheap to order spares to last a long time. These spares would virtually ride for free at the time of order. Or, as Dave had mentioned, you can convert to European style.

If there are any qustions or concerns about the purchase of equipment, delivered quotes, or technical assistance, contact Merrill or Hal.

the only problem with shipping here is import duty, I have another business and get hit some times silly amounts (if you don't thats Fantastic and is a great deal), but then again the US $ is great for exchange at the mo so well worth it... word of warning check weight and the cost of duty before ordering, just to make sure it is cheaper than the UK 7/10 times it is..

If you order from Merrill Fox Enterprises,( USA ) we give you the complete costs before VAT. If you know what Vat is, then you can figure your totals.

When pressure washers and surface cleaners are ordered they are sent over with a freight forwarder. We know all charges, even the customs and any airline handling charges can be figured.

When we send a part or a surface cleaner, the price is complete, plus VAT.  These are sent with the US Postal Service, and although the shipments arrive in a timely fashion, Parcel Force drags their feet a bit.

Anyone that contacts us will recieve a no obligation delivered quote.

Because that the British Pound is 1/2 of the US Dollar, there is a savings after all costs, that makes it worth the while.

Let us know if we can be of help.
