Do you have to pay import duty on books from the US bought on Amazon?

[Blueballoon3]

I want to order a book costing £7.33 (with free postage) from the US. Would I have to pay import duty on that in the UK? Thanks!

Not for that value.

Thank you for the reply. Are you sure?! Looking on the government website it looks as though I might have to pay duty for any import that's not a gift, but it does seem weird for something that cheap!

My experience may be out of date, but I remember a limit of I think £18, below which it wasn't charged. But maybe someone else has more recent info.

I also thought tax was triggered at £18.

I've bought a number of low-priced books from America and never been charged any import costs.

There's a minimum I think, used to be about £15. There's no vat
