Hi all does anybody know the percentage you get charged for this I'm looking at some stuff that is around the £30 Mark and curious how much I'm getting stung

Depends entirely on what you're buying, duty rates change depending on the item/s. On £30 though you'll probably find the handling fees are more than the duty.

[edit] oh yeah, 20% VAT as well. lol

I thnk its usually about 20%, they just claim tax off you that you were trying to avoid in the first place lol Unless they will send as a gift.
