I don't think that the important question for this thread is what people expected or should have expected. It's what's happening now, and what's going to happen in the future.

Well yes, but it seems every time I point out what the current position is, someone pops up to tell me it's wrong, when they'd have been better off looking for themselves.
For clarity - Imports into the UK of £135 or less and exports to the EU of 150 Euro or less are not liable for duty with some notable exceptions - Perfume, alcohol, tobacco, that I know of. This isn't a temporary measure, it is the same limit to where the VAT is liable but not otherwise related to it.
I don't mind if someone wants to tell me I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, just please, check the facts first.
