I looked into this a few moths ago and found i was going to be hammered TWICE!
Import tax of between 6-8% then 17.5% VAT on top of that!!!
Made the item i was buying a waste of time and more expensive.
I have since discovered that the import tax depends on whether the parcel is targeted by customs or not.
Tip given to me by a friend who works for the Post Office, there are several hangers where the goods come in to. He recommended the goods be sent by Parcel Force, they are located in the second hanger, by the time customs work there way through the first one the Parcel Force boys get their wagons loaded up and do one as quick as they can.
The other way is to have it sent to you as a gift with this clearly stated on the outside of the package with the correct documentation showing this.

No!!!
There's no import tax if it's from another EU country. You only have to pay import tax and vat if it's coming from outside the EU.
