How do I know if an Amazon seller is in the UK?

I want to get a hr vivomove charger so I have a spare one - so often I'll forget to take it on holiday or can't find it when I get home and haven't yet unpacked. So if I have one that lives in one location permanently I can relax.
And I've got Prime free til the end of the month so looking to best utilise that prior to cancelling.
Sometimes it's easy to see on Amazon that something is in the UK but sometimes I'm not sure.
Can anyone help me locate a hr vivomove charger which won't get me running about paying import fees etc?

You can look at the delivery time; if they offer next day then it'll probably be UK but if it says 2 weeks it'll more likely be overseas.2

I've ordered stuff (Amazon and Temu) that has had a long delivery time and seems to have been sent from abroad, but I've never had to pay import duty

I have ordered hundreds of things from abroad on Amazon, never once paid import fees.I would be very cautious though about buying a charger or cables though that are not legit and most definitely not one from chinaI’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

Amazon has to deal with the import taxes on anything under £135 landed so anything under this shouldn't incur taxes unless the sender really messes up the declarations and then it will be resolvable.
The seller is based in China but Amazon is dealing with the dispatch so the goods are already in the UK. Amazon dont offer a bonded warehouse facility to third party sellers so any importation taxes due would have been paid when they came in.
Is it going to be good quality/work? thats a whole different question but not the question being asked.2
