Default Import Duty, Nissan parts from the USA?

If I buy some new car parts from the states does anyone know what inport duty I would need to pay on top?
The 2 parts total $275, plus post and will be coming from a Nissan dealers over there.
I would buy direct here in the uk, but Nissan uk tell me they cant get one of the parts and want £275 !! just for one part anyway

4% Import duty on the value of the goods and freight charge.
Then vat @ 17.5% on the total of the previous line (goods + freight + duty)
Then the duty handling charge by the carrier this end, anywhere between £7 and £15.

Cheers
Does the duty vary if the parts are used or new/ as new ?

Duty is (usually) applied to all imported parts whether new or used, same duty rate regardless of condition.
