So all sellers other than those in the UK are corrupt?

If you have to pay duty on a £350 steering wheel, take the issue up with your Government, that's who's to blame, not retailers in Merry Olde England. They will all send you parts without charging VAT, or any other form of tax, and I have found UK intl air freight costs are far more competitive than the US.

Why should retailers in the UK fiddle their paperwork to save you a few dollars in duty?
