Presumably, VAT plus the fleecing you get from Royal Mail for their "handling charge" of paying it for you. So about £40, I'd hazard.

Aye - depends on how the goods are classified.

And you'll be paying VAT and duty on the shipping costs which are much higher than from the US.

Don't forget the VAT gets added on [i]after[/i] everything else is calculated as well, so that can come as a bit of a shock if you're not prepared.
