Hmm! I'm seriously tempted. What sort of price should goods be marked down to so you avoid being hit with charges?
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

Anything valued at £18 or over COULD attract VAT and Duty.
That is the law.
Marking shit as a gift has fuck all bearing on the situation. Fact !

True
I got charged on my last pair from Harputs which were marked as a gift.
Also worth remembering that the postage price is added to the purchase price to give you the total value that you get taxed on.

i think it can be marked as a gift up to 32pounds... otherwise any gifts over that will incure charges.

In Oz maybe but not here.
£18, including postage, is the limit.
Beyond that and they COULD but might not charge VAT and Duty.

Sourced from the HMRC website
2.3 What are the limits for customs duty and import VAT?
Commercial consignments of £18 or less are free from customs duty and import VAT. For example, goods purchased over the internet with an intrinsic value not exceeding £18, will not be charged any duty or VAT but this does not include alcohol, tobacco products, perfume or toilet waters, see paragraph 2.5, 2.6 and section 3.
If you are sent a gift with a value of £40 or less, and which complies ,with the rules shown in paragraph 2.4 it will be free from customs duty and import VAT, but this does not include alcohol, tobacco, perfumes and toilet waters.
2.4 Gifts
Goods sent as a gift that are over £40 in value are liable to import VAT. Customs duty also becomes payable if the value of the goods is over £135 but is waived if the amount of duty calculated is less than £9.

Don't expect it to be there long at that price, not my cuppa personally and too big anyway but figured someone might like it.

Thanks for the info everyone. I reckon i'll take the chance and go for them.
I know there are some horror stories on here to do with customs charges. I'm wondering how bad they can hit me for 40 odd squid worth of goods???
