Oh bollocks. It's going to work out even more expensive than I thought, isn't it? Am I reading it right it's slightly less than ten per cent extra on top? Maybe I'd be better off just buying one from Ebay.

"At present the average nominal tariff rate is 8.25 % and the average effective rate is 3.25%"

But which one would apply to me, if I've got it right? The 8.25 rate, or the 3.25? I've no idea what the above actually means.

Edit: found out. Six per cent (that a friend payed for a computer system imported to here). I can deal with that.
