I've looked at their FAQs but still can't work out a definitive answer so here goes. This applies specifically to Amazon UK rather than a general import query.
If I buy something from Amazon.co.uk which is sourced from outside the EU (China or Singapore for example), is the displayed price the total I'll end up paying, or will my goods be held hostage by HMRC until I cough up some duty and VAT?
Specifically this camera. The suppliers are in China, so do I end up paying £68.95 or about £80 after HMRC get involved?
