There is no goods tax on an item of that value. Remember VAT is charged on shipping costs as well as item cost.0

I imported goods to the value of $220 (art print). Quite a big item...
Had to pay £8 to Parcelforce and £24 odd for VAT. £32 to get into the country....more than what I paid to ship it in the first place.0
