VAT at 17.5% on declared value (maybe more after next weeks budget 
)
Fee to the carrier as they were so kind to collect the tax on behalf of HMCE, some charge flat fee others a percentage of the amount collected.
Possibly import duty, again percentage of declared value.
Although some packages will get through without charge a lot depends on the carrier handling the delivery this end and you have to factor the extra into the cost. Especially if it's delivered this end by a man (or woman) in a red van as they won't hand the package over until you come up with the payment. Some carriers will invoice you later.
See http://www.hmce.gov.uk for info.
