Us to UK duties or extra costs

[mest_8090]

Hello,

I purchased a bag form the US FOR $60 which is £50. I'm unclear as to whether there will be additional import taxes or duties upon arrival? I don't want to pay anything extra. 

I've tried to google it but I find it so confusing and unclear. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

If you didn't pay any import VAT at checkout,  then yes, there will be 20% VAT to pay, plus a courier fee of about £15.

It's below the duty threshold.

 I think VAT is included in the shipping cost (that's what it says).

Once bought, failing to pay and VAT courier fees, invalidates the money back guarantee.

Usually when buying outside the UK, ebay will collect the VAT when you pay for purchase, but if not paid at time of purchase, Royal Mail or Courier doing the delivery will expect to be paid before delivery. That is an extra 20% VAT plus courier fee, RM I think charge £14,  Couriers more.

Your screenshot shows you paid it at checkout, so no more charges on import.
