Does it depend on the value as regards does import duty apply.
I receive Readers digest (BRAILLE EDITION) from the States at a cost of
170 US DOLLARS A YEAR.
Not duty to pay!

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Bradley watch- import duty?
I had an email from the folk at Bradley saying they may have sent two
watches to some people by mistake and if you were prepared to pay any
import
duty you could keep them both.
The first watch came, I think, from America and had no import duty
involved.
The second came from Hong Kong, and I received a demand from Fedex a week
later for £46 import duty and charges.
I had already donated the second watch to someone so no longer had it.
What
annoyed me most was that Fedex must have paid the duty and then demanded
it
back after the fact. I had no indication when Fedex delivered the watch
that
duty had been charged, and had no option but to pay it.
Fedex did not have my permission to pay any import duty on my behalf, and
had I known it would be charged, I would have refused the delivery and had
it returned to the company.
The way I looked at it in the end was, I thought I was getting something
for
nothing. Well, I didn't!!
Enjoy the watch, by the way, it took a bit of getting used to, but works
well.
