Advice on these steppers -Nema 24 Stepper Motor 24HS34-3008D

Personally I would go with the 68V p/s with the drives above or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2DM860H-2...frcectupt=true

There are plenty of people using this setup without problems

I was just looking at those drives and tried to search for ones in the european union to avoid any duty but are these fake? it says the max voltage on the drive is only 70v DC!

What's the likelihood I'll get stung on import duties? What kind of cost should I expect to have to pay if I do get stung? ��

[Voicecoil]

It all seems to depend on what shipping method is used. Typically for stuff coming by the big carriers (Fedex, DHL, UPS etc.) it'll be 4 to 5% duty, a handling fee of between £10 and £15 and then 20% VAT on the whole lot.

When I have ordered stuff like this in one's or two's very seldom I have paid anything if done with China Post.

That's my experience too on small orders.

Another warning though for larger orders or when sent via courier: ALWAYS make sure that the vendor includes the shipping cost on the commercial invoice. The nice XinLichuan stepper people forgot to do this on the order I've just recieved, and HMRC took it upon themselves to estimate the freight cost.... at 3x what I'd actually paid = an extra £46 duty & VAT. Thankfully I can claim most of it back on the business, but a private individual would either have to battle it out with HMRC or accept the loss
