Anyone imported any camera gear from hong kong? Specifically I want a samyang 7.5mm fisheye. Available for ?169 from hong kong, much cheaper than over here (UK). Just wondering how likely I am to get a customs charge?

There's a handling fee (usually around ?12-15), VAT at 20% and import duty at 6.7% (it's higher for lenses). The duty and VAT is paid on the total declared including the shipping and insurance costs.
