If you can persuade the sender to mark it as a gift, you might get away without paying any taxes

Count on at least a third of the value of the item - you might be lucky and avoid it all together *fingers crossed for you*

17.5% of value plus any handling fee your courier may charge.

Parcel force charge Â£8, which is about the average.

Hope this helps,
