Default Any one know how much import tax when buying from the US

How do you work out the import tax on goods bought from the US and how, when do you pay it.
Or can you just chance it??

Looking at buying and getting stuff sent over

Chance it! Most people I know (myself included) seem to.

If you have to then payup, but only if asked!

You are going to be talking about just over 20% to pay in total on the UK value.

CHANCE IT!!!
They charge depending upon the value of the item, havnt ordered anything too recently but i think anything under $35 if free then it goes up by 18% ish, it depends on the person on the other end how its declared ie is it gift/documents/commercial item.
