Signed Autobiography for sale

From the US the import charges would be a killer!

What's the reason for import charges, i sometimes incur them and sometimes not, Is it to do with how much the sender insures the item for?

Think it's VAT if the item is coming from a country that doesn't charge VAT you have to pay it here or foreign companies would have a 20% unfair advantage. The seller has to state whats in the package when sending so customs here can work out charges. If seller marks it as a gift you can get away with it. obviously big companies won't so vat is charged.
