For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.For delivery to the UK, it's called Low Value Consignment Relief. From 1st Nov 2011 anything with a value of £15 or below is exempt from import duty and/or VAT. (It used to be £18). But note that HMRC look upon the value of an item as being the sum of the basic cost of the item plus the postage paid to ship it. Doesn't give you much leeway! Other EU countries may have their own rules.
