Where can I find 3/8"-16 insert for DIY tap handles?

I could order them from the states, but it will be quite expensive with shipping, taxes and VAT so I thought I'd try to find them within EU.

Any tips?

Yes. There is no customs duty or VAT on an item of that value.

"If you order or send purchased goods other than alcohol, tobacco, perfume and toilet water from a country outside the EU then you:
  • don't have to pay Excise Duty
  • may have to pay Customs Duty on goods with a value that exceeds £135
  • will have to pay import VAT on goods with a value that exceeds £15
Note that on all goods from outside the EU, Customs Duty is waived if the amount of duty calculated is £9 or under."
