USA imports

[#lazy]

I’ve been looking for a fox speedframe in a medium for a while without any luck , so went down the USA eBay route and bought one for £100ish shipped . It’s now in the Uk waiting release and just wondered if or how much duty I’ll pay ?
I’ve been lucky a few times and not have to pay anything . Anything under £50 I can live with !

20% VAT and whatever the WTO tariff is for bike helmets plus shipping/customs fee. They are available on the Fox UK site for £139

I have ordered stuff from The Lost Co before (they ship to UK, and have a UK £ web store) and I believe they take care of the charges at point of purchase, as the items have never been subject to holding etc, which I have had with eBay purchased from the US.
