A heads up to uk buyers, remember we are now being hit very hard with Import duty payment not forgetting the automatic £8.00+ handling charge so you really need to make it a worthwhile size or very small, either way weigh it up as with any international purchase
This from the RM website stands true currently..
If you are receiving a package from overseas (unless it’s from another EU Country), please be aware that it may incur customs charges. Any package assessed by HM Revenue and customs as being liable for customs charges will also incur a Royal Mail handling fee of £8.
Any goods imported into the UK over the value of £18 are liable to import VAT. Gifts between private individuals over the value of £40 are also liable for VAT. Goods and gifts over these values may also be liable for customs duty. You no longer have to pay customs duty for goods up to the value of £135, however you will still be required to pay import VAT and excise duty where applicable.
