Hi everybody new to the forum just done full resto of Engine and Paint work of my CB400NB duing lock down last year.
Hoping to get out and about on it this year, but just starting some work on NSR250 and having a mare of a week trying to pay Customs thru FEDEX for some spares and now forced to hitting the Drink LOL!!!
Why is it when you go to the Doctors and they ask why are you so stressed!!! Obviously living on a different planet to me. Have imported quite a lot of spares over the years including very recently, but not with FEDEX, think name change to FEDUP would be quite appropriate LOL.

Hi, welcome along.
I've had a similar thing with Fed-Ex from Japan recently. (charged a little duty on a zero tariff item at the bidding of customs they say), VAT, but it was the nearly £12 to process it, that stressed me (and also that they sent me a paper invoice 2 days after I had paid it.... Fed-Ex are generally ok but not perhaps my automatic choice selection next time.

Hi Thanks everyone for the replies much appreciated and yes hopefully Cam Chain all ok.
Had a little issue with an oil leak on the nearside between the Barrel and Head which seems to be ok after re-Torquing the Cylinder Head Bolts.
Had a similar happening with my G5 many years ago just before going to France and that was also caused by not using a genuine Honda Gasket first time round and probably required re-Torquing, but as I was going to France I decided to replace it with a genuine Honda one which gave no problem whatsoever.
Should have learnt, but thought mistakenly that Non Genuine Gaskets would be better today.

When I have time and if it ever gets resolved I will write about the FEDEX experience, it's a bit like the Catch 22 film (if you haven't watched it then I fully recommend it, it is a Classic).
In fact I feel a film script comming on (it certainly would be long enough it's been going on for over a week now)LOL!
