Do you normally get hit with customs charges / VAT for MPC Stuff deliveries to the UK ?

Yesterday the package arrived and at left heathrow. Today it has cleared Parcelfarce in coventry.

Parcelfarce tracker says:

12/2/2017 19:32 International Hub Released from customs

Yes, if the 'value' is above £15 (or £39 if marked as a 'gift') it will incur VAT and royal mail/parcelforce handling charges, and if over £135 value you'll also have to pay import duty. Sometimes chargeable packages magically pass through without charges being raised - if so, theres no royal mail handling fee.

I believe if it has attracted a charge the tracking will state 'International Hub Customs charges raised' (this will appear before the 'released' line.
