We pay 17.5% on virtually everything, if it is not displayed it will be already in the price. If you are outside the UK, you may get away with not paying the VAT, but you may have to pay something in your own country.
We buy from the US we have to pay 17.5% VAT on the total cost including postage. Then import tax, Customs duty, and then a handling fee. If it is marked as a gift we are allowed a value of I think £20.00, but if the parcel is from a business, i.e stamped with a business header on the package we pay the lot, unless they miss it.
