The legal declaration of value for duty relates to the final destination. It is quite likely that the package will pass through a European hub before coming to the UK anyway. But the duty applied should be UK rates. Whether there is any way round this, I couldn't say.

Ship to a mate in southern Ireland then get the ferry over and pick it up thats how most of the jap imports get  into the uk without duty :wink:
