Hi,
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
You can claim a relief to pay no Customs Duty and VAT if you're importing inherited goods into the UK.
Please check below link for more information:
Pay no import duties or VAT on inherited goods
Thank you.
