uzzyuzzy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So I am travelling quite a bit for work lately and have 3 trips lined up to NYC and LA in the coming months with good length of stay each time. Has anybody ever ordered items from Titan to their hotel and then brought them back on the flight to the UK? Was it worth the savings or issues at customs? I am looking at more the cosmetic items such as; *1993-98 SUPRA GANADOR MIRROR SET *HYPERTUNE INTAKE MANIFOLD TOYOTA 2JZGTE *TRD OIL FILLER CAP *HKS CAMSHAFTS FOR 1993-98 SUPRA - 264 DURATION thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzzyuzzy Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 They could always be samples yes, but with samples they normally like to punch in a hole somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Unbox the items. No longer new and not subject to import tax surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Or ask for receipts that show a far lower value, so if they stop you any tax is far less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wouldn't unbox the camshafts they are quite brittle and can break, I'd wrap the boxes in a load of bubble wrap if bringing them back as check in luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelfurb Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 A tip.....I once brought back a front lip and various other parts. No problem at all. Package them as sporting gear of some kind. No extra luggage costs. I said the diffuser were skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelfurb Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Imagine they asked you to put them on Lol Airport staff don't tend to ask. I'm going to do the same next time I go to the states as I'm after some roof rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I meant unbox from the original branded packaging and place in other non branded boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzzyuzzy Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) hello, I'm in harrow, where abouts are you? new super owner here Hi, my family home is in Harrow so there quite a bit. Is yours the white supra? There is also another chap with a lovely dragon green supra which he hardly drives and you also have Peter near Watford. I think we need to do a mini meet now.
