PAYABLE DUTIES & TAXES FOR ITEMS SHIPPED TO THE UK

Taxes are payable upon delivery of the package to the UK, not when they are sent from your virtual mailing address or your virtual mailing addresses. As a result, the value of all goods is taxable and is required for the overall international shipment.
