Depends on what they have put on the declaration for customs or if they have opened the package and checked to see if tags on it showing price. Its hard to say but usually the price of the item plus shipping x VAT plus admin/handling fee ( Usually anything from £8 to £15 )

Quote by TeznufcWhat is taxed though, the price you paid or the RRP on the jacket?
I,d of thought the price you payed as the value is shown on the parcel
Yeh it will be what's on the parcel, there's VAT to pay plus whatever they charge you for handling.
As an example I bought something from the US with a value of the equivalent of £400 and I got charged £125 in customs/taxes [/quote] think RM charge £8 then what ever on top of tha\t.
I just picked up the olive woolrich arctic I was after from the post office this morning after getting hit for an extra 30 quids worth of tax. Worth it though, chuffed to bits with the coat...
