Hello suedavage there are procedures for recieving good/parcels sent from outside the UK, first the goods/parcel must be checked by customs. Goods from outside the EU If the value of the goods is £2,000 or less

Customs officers work out the amount of any tax and/or duty payable by the information shown on the CN22 or CN23. The parcel is then passed to Royal Mail/Parcelforce who pay any tax and/or duty on behalf of the recipient.

If the value of the goods exceeds £2,000

As the recipient, you'll be sent a customs form C88 'Single Administrative Document' to complete and return to the postal depot before your package can be delivered. Once this is received, the amount of tax/duty to pay is worked out and then the package is passed to Royal Mail/Parcelforce who pay any tax and/or duty on your behalf.

Once your parcel has been cleared through customs, Royal Mail/Parcelforce will let you know in writing that you have a parcel for delivery, how much you'll need to pay and the methods of payment.
