Excise duties? They make them in Canada for the US market and with NAFTA I expect that excise duties are low.

The VAT element of 45K is £6702 giving a net £38298. However like most things, rip off uk BTW my MB casts £90/hour service charges at local MB stealer I go to France where its approx £32/hour eg A service £320 uk MB , £160 at MB specialist, £90 France at MB dealer
