This is a site which is essentially the UK customs page: http://www.sloanefox.freeserve.co.uk/importukduty.
htm You pay import duty (between 5 and 9%) on the cost of the product plus shipping and VAT (at 17.5%) on top of that! So for a �300 product with �15 packing would cost approximately �388 (17.5% x (5% x 315))
