If dealing with proxy sometimes it works well to send the 1st payment to buy the product then a 2nd payment later (with description on the payment) for fees and shipping, declare the latter then if they ask for proof you can send them the paypal payment as proof. Could be a bit difficult if buying direct but works well on proxy services should you ever run in to customs.
Don’t often order much from outside the UK, but I’ve seen something I want from the US. The item is on sale for $105 with shipping at $25 - can anyone estimate how much I’ll have to pay in import fees etc? I’d just like to work out if it’s worth buying or not.
Looking online it appears that I won’t be charged any customs fees as the item & postage is under £135. But will I have to pay VAT?

Anything under £135 - No charge
Gifts worth £135-£630 - 2.5%, but rates are lower for some goods - call the helpline
Gifts above £630 and other goods above £135 - The rate depends on the type of goods and where they came from - call the helpline

VAT will be much more than the duty generally.
