New Rules for Online Shoppers
From this month, internet shoppers will no longer have to pay customs duty on non-EU purchases worth up to £105.
Customs duty had been payable on goods bought online from non-EU countries worth £18 or more. But from 1 December, the new £105 limit will apply. VAT will still be charged on goods over £18, and is not affected by the changes.
