Based on my experience (UK), you will end up having to pay VAT on the invoice or declared value. If they send it using a non-postal carrier such as UPS, FedEx, DHL or similar, then the carrier will charge a customs clearance handling fee of 20-30 squids. If they send it by regular post, then sometimes it slips right through without being noticed even if the full value is declared on the little green customs declaration sticker.
