Don't know how it works going into the UK. In years of buying by mailorder and EBAY from the UK to the USA I have never been charged import duty or sales tax. (we don't have VAT). I think they have decided that the paperwork isn't worth the amount they would collect. When we register our cars in Illinois, we have to show receipts for the parts we used in the build. If the parts were bought outside the state, we have to pay sales tax on them to register and license the car. This is around 7%.


For me, getting VAT taken off the price of UK goods really helps take the sting out of the high shipping costs to the USA. I have had some items show up on my doorstep from the UK in less than a week. ( I never pay for speedy delivery)
