My experience with import duty is hit and miss
I used to bring in sunglasses and golf clubs on a regular basis for resale on eBay

One in three approx got hit with tax
Smaller items listed by the exporter as low value or a gift come through no problem

I suspect given the nature of an exhaust it will be closely inspected and so may attract import duty once it is deemed ok to import
Hope you get lucky

From what you said if your purchase was from EU I would be asking the EU supplier to stand the cost of any duties before accepting the deal

Your looking at around 20% of the deemed value as tax if it's assessed from memory - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

...because it's being imported is the short answer. I think if it came from the EU you'd be paying VAT at 20% anyway? 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

If bought in the EU the price includes VAT. If it's coming from the US they should either pay the duty for you or reduce the price you paid since they won't have to pay the VAT. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
