This is all very helpful information. Thank you all.
By the way, I made a spreadsheet to calculate the total cost of a gun imported from Holts based on Argo's categories and numbers, It's not complicated, but it lets me plug in a bid price and see what my 'out the door' purchase price is as well as the 'in the door' price of import.
Quite obvious but interesting to see the numbers: for a £150 gun the cost of import is 2.5x the purchase price. The purchase (including premium) is 41% of the cost. For a £2000 gun, the purchase accounts for 86%. Interestingly, the rate plateaus around 2000, as a £25000 and a £250,000 gun purchase price remains around 94% of the total cost since the tariff 10% remains
