Yes you may have to pay import duty if you get caught, its VAT on the value of the item above $50 I think  :-\ + a handling charge of about £8 + another £8 for some other Bollox if I remember right.

It all depends, Iv had about 50-50 on paying for stuff, so you may be lucky  ;)

You can mark the value down (under $50) or mark it as a gift, might work  :daumenhoch:

Iv tried all this stuff & still sometimes I get hit for import duty & sometimes I don't.

I think the best way is to mark it under $50, but then you may have a problem if it goes missing  :-\
