customs duty payable when buying from china question

[spudorange]

As title

I am trying to find out the customs and excise rates for something I want to
buy from china for my own personal use.

they are quoting in US dollars so I need if possible a figure both for £ & $

If it's for instance under £150 will there be "no" further charges?
Or is charges made irrespective of the amount of the item/s?

It kind of defeats the object if something cheap ends up being hammered with
extra vat and duty

appreciate if anyone can help

HMRC say 15 days for a reply and their site sends you round in circles.

thanks

Whilst it is generally excellent, it does not seem to cover mail-order doxies and other wenches.
