One thing to beware of, is that some of the couriers are making an
estimated charge for duty even when it is below the collection limit £7.
They land you with a bill which has to be paid in cash, and you never
get it back.
UPS are the worst culprits for this.
HMC do not want to get involved at the moment.
Customs duty and VAT is not collected if the amount due is under £7.
