    You are liable. Its not when it was ordered, its when it imported
    No it's not.
    The link I provided clearly states otherwise:

    For example, if an order is placed and payment received from the customer on 31 December 2020 then the new rules will not apply, even if dispatch and delivery take place after 1 January 2021.

    the problem with that is the courier is not able to know when it was ordered.
    So you might think that that applies. but the FACTS are the clearance can only occur when the package is shipped and presented to the courier,.
    I don't think anything, I only know what the documentation from the UK government states and that isn't ambiguous in any way. It clearly states the fact that if the goods were ordered and paid for before the end of 2020, the old rules apply so therefore no import duty or VAT is due on those goods.
