For UK residents,
Not sure if this link will work pasted within this forum but here goes:
http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsP...HMCE_CL_001454
If not, go to
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ and type "shopping on the internet" into the search box. There's full details of duty rates and the goods they apply to. Remember, the VAT is charged on the value after the import duty, if there is any on the item in question, has been applied. So, you pay VAT on the import duty! I came perilously close to making a loss (compared to UK high St. price) on a tripod head I bought from Canada by the time all the tax and fees had been added.

Edit: Whew! The link works!
