do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
yeh, it'll automatically land in customs this end, they'll then demand the duty and the VAT on the items ... depending on who's shipping it, if it's PO/royal mail , they'll charge you a tenner for their 'admin' :mad: and collect the bucks for C&E
check on shipping costs, as they have gone berserk the last few years ... I used to buy A LOT of stuff from bike breakers in the states - cheap as chips, clean stuff and cheap to ship - not anymore - last Roemheld rotary I bought was circa 50+% more by the time it got here, than I paid for it

Would I get notified that a payment is due by customs?

who is shipping it ... royal mail tells you you have a package that has duty payable and won't deliver 'til it's paid (plus their fee :mad: )

if it's bulky/carrier size type of goods, whoever is handling it this end will invoice you before attempting to deliver and won't 'til paid in full

Ask the seller what there incoterms are, that then tells you where you stand. the one you have shown in the picture above I have just stuck 1 in my basket, in checkout it says $78.26 shipping with no additional import charges upon delivery so I'd say there incoterms are DAP
