Just to confirm -
ITEM A is declared at £14.50 + £10 postage - no customs charge (as ITEM A under £15)
ITEM B is declared at £16.00 + £10 postage - customs charge is £5.20 (£16 + £10 x 0.2) + the Royal Mail handling fee of £8.
As soon as the value of the contents exceeds £15, VAT is due on all monies paid (ITEM + postage).
Tis a stupid system, but our government came up with it, so of course it's obtuse.
