Is there any import tax implication for UK buyer when buying a book (total $62.40 = £47 including shipping)  from US book seller due to new tariff introduction?

The new US tariffs only apply to items sent to the US. 

 

For items £135 and under there is no Import Duty to pay and any applicable VAT would be included in the listing price and collected by eBay at checkout.  However, books are zero rated for VAT.
