Because you need to pay 20% VAT but is this on top of the normal price you pay for the items + shipping? And if not, can you just import up to 135 pounds without paying extra's?

The theory is that because the UK treasury are missing out on the VAT they would get when the item was sold in the UK, they get it through the import duty.
Another thing to be mindful of is that the value they use to calculate includes the shipping costs not just the cost of the item you purchase Post Merge: October 17, 2015, 12:38:57 PMOops sorry, yeah you said that Post Merge: October 17, 2015, 12:44:08 PMOh and the "admin fee" is £8, so 20% vat plus the admin fee. So you end up paying cost of item + shipping cost, plus 20% of cost of item and shipping, plus £8
