No, LTT charges vat on purchase. Have bought twice from lttstore not had any additional charges on delivery to UK.

I bought some GN merch a couple years back. I didn't have to pay any customs in advance. Instead of being delivered to my door, the package arrived at a parcel shop and I had to pay the customs when picking up the package. This was in Germany.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

According to current regulations it would be 3,7% import tax plus 19% VAT in Germany. But since UK isn't EU anymore i don't know how the rates go for you. There are also exceptions depending on local regulations.

 

If you know how much you're gonna spend (including shipping cost), your best bet is to call the UK customs office and ask them. Maybe they also have a calculator on their website.

The rules https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty

 

So it appears not, as long as VAT is charged when you buy the item.

 

Though when I have bought used items from Japan, via eBay, there was a customs charge on the value of the item, as well as a customs admin fee. The admin fee was £20 I think, though this was a few years ago. I think it depends on if the sender pays the VAT or not.
