Hi there,
Anyone have any idea of the customs charge on a wedding dress from USA? Is it proportional to the sale price?

VAT kicks in at £15+ value, Duty at £135+. When the charge is triggered it is calculated on the total value of the purchase ie item price + shipping. In addition, the flat-rate fee to the carrier who collects the tax is probably going to be around £10-£15.
If there is an issue with the item, you will be paying for a fully tracked and insured return to the seller and will then have to wrestle with HMRC to get the VAT/Duty back.
