I agree with the previous posters; the potential issues mean that for me its not worth it.

But if you decide to go ahead, use the ''Govt website to check for import charges''. If you use that as a search term in Google you'll find the site plus extra info about changes after 1st Jan caused by Brexit.

I think you'll be liable for VAT on £141.

When your item arrives in the UK they'll hold it at a Customs warehouse, and they send you a grey postcard card with the details on it. You go online and pay the duty using your bank or credit card.

yep i think i'm guna pass on that, mainly due to the return postage situation if SNAD (seller abroad not having to sort out return postage), otherwise i'd probably have still bought it i'd would still have been saving over 200 quid.
