Shipping bike Oz-UK: paperwork?
In a few months I'll be sending my bike from Australia to the UK by sea.
When I arrive in the UK, what sort of customs clearance documents/fees am I likely to encounter?
I believe no carnet is needed; and that the bike can be used fairly liberally within the UK/Europe without needing to register it there, although insurance is needed? Correct?
Once uncrated, and documents completed, can I simply go on my merry way around Europe? (I'll also be taking the bike to Ireland for a lot of my trip - do I need to alert Irish authorities as well?).
If anyone can point me towards some useful web pages I'd appreciate it.
