You need to be a bit more precise about how you are buying the item.
If you are visiting the USA and returning with items you have bought there, then you have an allowance of £145 worth before you should declare it at the red customs point... whether you do or not is your choice.
If you are buying something mail order from the USA to be delivered to you in the UK then import duty and VAT if applicable should be applied. It is a bit of a lottery as to whether your item will make it through the postal system without being checked. If it does get examined by customs and taxes levied, it is liklely that the Royal Mail (not sure how other carriers handle this) will present you with a bill at the time of delivery.

I noticed something about this in the local post office... You will need to check but I think if there is any outstanding tax you have to pay this either on delivery or when you collect from the sorting office. Not sure of the details but ask at the local post office as they may have some details on royal mail

Forget that and get down to Primark reckon £2 will set you up wear them once and return for a refund everybody does.

Check with 'Customs & Excise'. Google it as SORRY I don't know their contact address/telno.
