Daniel, I just need to confirm if there is any kind of tax or duty we have to pay for these bags in the UK. I need to send these bags to a friend in Bristol, UK and I am sure if there are any duties to be paid or any kind of paperwork. Never sent anything out of the US so kind of anxious.

You might want to send this question to @bimota. He has very recently had experience with shipping to or from the UK.

the buyer in the UK, will have to pay import duties once customs clear it in the UK looking at the price its showing $479 dollars the person sending or company sending from the USA doesn,t pay anything but the person that recieves it in the UK will get a tax customs bill once it gets here,
anything around under roughly £90 you will not but defenetly $479 dollars

Can we send it as a gift? if that excludes it from the taxing? or how can I pay it upfront? I am sending it to a friend and I do not want him to pay for anything. A friend of mine received this one in Ireland without any extra fee/tax. Is there any taxing website I can look into?

really not sure to be honest, i know the gift thing gets used etc, but if the items new and that valuable they still add the import duties but i,m no expert so don,t know about taxing webb sites
