Ordering from China

[paumcleo-6]

Hi I'm looking at ordering some reflective strips for my motor home from China. The seller mentions customs fees. Does this generally mean ordering from China will entail UK customs adding a fee that ill have to pay to collect stickers?

Thankyou

You will pay VAT & depending on value, maybe also import fees.

If item is faulty, you have to pay return postage as well.

Suggest you find UK seller, but check their location, as even if it says posted from UK & they are based in China, you still pay VAT.

Thank you for your that, appreciated.
I clocked it a couple of years ago China sellers giving London addresses.
Yet length of delivery made no sense.
