St lucia - UK export

What would you think from a visit this year the dealer offered 15% off and a duty free sale another 15% back ,So 30 % off a new WG GMT Pepsi ? I won't be going back till Easter 2015 and I hope there will be some kicking around by then ,I will ask Harry to have it in stock for my visit ,

What are the pit falls duty on my return to the UK if I choose to declare the item ? at 20% ?

Alternatively purchase from EU at a decent price and no duty issues accept I won't be getting 30% but maybe mid 20% off list

I am curious what others have done

I have seen big discounts available on WGs...not that much but 20% seems achievable. If its legit then Id go for it.

Offers for Duty-free, or Duty Free shops means that the product is sold to you "duty free"; they did not pay duty and pass that along to you as you exit the country.

You are still responsible to pay import or other duties as required by your country of residence, so you would be charged at whatever rate the UK requires when you re-enter.
