Nothing like being screwed by the state.
Some info here on import charges, looks like the threshold for VAT is just £15,
but import tax is £135.

Bought some seat trims from Jess Freeby about 3weeks ago, still no sign so I assume they're in customers waiting for someone to get round to ripping me off!
As you say, Jess will not alter the value, he states this quite clearly on his site.
