I think its 14% import duty on full bikes that are classed as not originating in the EU - so I guess Yt/commencal etc have >55% of the bikes value in parts supplied from outside the EU (rules of origin and all that).
YT have a shop down in surrey - so I wonder if they could ship the components of a bike and only get charged 4% (I think, might vary depending on the part in question) duty, then assemble the bikes in their shop, and then post them out to customers from there.
I guess if they can do this then they will do once the dust has settled.
