Default Advice Needed Importing Shishas to UK

Hello all,

im thinking of importing in 3 Km's from America to the UK, i know Kms are easily available in the UK but they are all the bog standard crappy ones! i want some decent looking KM's,

i wanted to ask as opposed to shisha tobacco that could face customs tax etc.

as i will only be importing in the shishas itself and no tobacco, what taxes could i face in the uk should there be any? the 3 shishas in total with delivery is like £180,
how much VAT would i get charged etc? and is it farily to safe to import? as with shisha tobacco there is a risk etc

please let me know your thoughts

VAT @ 20% and import tax. Search up on parcelforce's website for the import tax rate.

Have you tried www.myshisha.co.uk? Those pipes are not the standard fugly ones you find at lounges...

MYshisha looks cheap but then there labeling a normal KM rainbow hose as a PRO signature and washable when its NOT, so beware.

Considering there not as good as KMs and are more expensive, i will stick with KM, unless you want a travel size shisha then go with a Bambino or QT.

The only budget type hookah I'd consider (other than mya qt) is the magdy zidan Orion. But now that my KM rotator is back in action my QT is getting packed up, there's no debate

Later on you will probably want to import Tangiers, now that I've tried it I don't think I can go back to the days where I didn't smoke Tangiers, I mean it's not the only thing I smoke by any means but... you know?
