On a new kit you will pay minimum 10% duty and 20% vat. Same on engines, anything at all from non EU countries. So importing is 30% more expensive that buying a the same quality kit in the UK. On top of that maybe £3000 for shipping. Plus the manufacturer probably wont really be able to advise in detail about IVA and what you need to do get it MoT'd and registered. UK kits like Hawk, Dax, AK etc are already designed so you can pass the test.
