it isn't as simple as that.

You have your import duty first.......
Then the total of your goods and import duty are added together, then they calculate the VAT....

Oh, and then ParcelFarce charge you a handling fee of about £15-£20

Reading quickly through, if it is classed as toys, then the max is 4.7%

So, £372x4.7%= £389.48

VAT, £389.48x17.5% = £457.64

Total Tax is £457.64 - £372 = £85.64

So, you may have to stump up £85 plus handling fees.

Hope they marked them as gifts.... I know I got it when I had kits and spares in one parcal.
