Yes - expect to if the sender marks the package as having any value.
The import tax game and handling fees fracas is a lottery - some people get charged $$$$$ Some £0.
The only way to avoid is for the sender to mark as gift and value at $0, which, unles they’re a close friend, would be foolish as it voids any insurance or claim value for the item.
It’s now why a US eBay item costs 20- 40% more - they auto add import and handling, whereas previously this was left to chance and discretion.

Would I incur import duty on second hand items bought from US based ebay seller?
