depends not on the price of the item but the size and weight

size and weight?
i know its different but when you pay duties from usa to mexico you pay 17%, of the total $$$ that you are bringing ....
i dont think its the same but it may be something similar...

I was under the impression that it was just weight that import duty was imposed. I mean, I imported from Germany and apparently needed to pay import duty once it reached uk shores, but haven't yet....on the other hand...I haven't had that credit card statement in yet
