postage to UK from outside EU - what duties etc

[graham67]

hi,

for an s/h item posted to UK from outside EU, value approx £110, what charges and duties will be applied by customs and/or the post office?

thanks,

Graham.

There's plenty of past threads on this if you do a search.

Also worth looking at HMRC's website - searching on "import duty" should do the trick.

Yes, not sure what that will be but there we go, I also have some other things on order from USA amounting to just over £800....shudder
