  • What VAT / customs are levied on orders from Europe?

    Under £135 the shop will collect UK VAT at 20%, so you have nothing to worry about. Above that, the shop won't charge VAT but UK customs will, and you'll probably have to pay the carrier a fee for acting as HMRC's agent.

    There is a third way where the sender makes arrangements with a UK agent to pay the tax, so as the end recipient you don't have to go through the hassle of paying the carrier before they release your consignment.
