What is the tax rate for imported religious books?

My friend plan to sent me about 200 boxes of Christian books from Korea. Do I need to pay tax? If so, what is the tax rate? Also, whether I need to pay tax or not, do I need to make any declarations?

All goods need to be declared to customs on arrival into the UK.
If you are using a courier they will usually do this for you as part of their services.
If you import by freight you may need to find a separate customs agent to make that declaration on your behalf.
There is not currently a process for self declaration.
If you wish to find details on how to import into the uk there is guidance. https://www.gov.uk/import-goods-into-uk Duty and tax rates are published in the uk tariff schedule and will depend on the type of goods being imported. There are also useful tools to help you work out expected costs. https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff

Hi Katherine,
Anything posted or couriered to you from another country goes through customs to check it is not banned or restricted and you pay the right tax and ‘duty’ on it.
This includes anything new or used that you:
•    buy online
•    buy abroad and send back to the UK
•    receive as a gift

Thank you.
