Can anyone tell me how much duty/VAT would be incurred in importing electronics from Hong Kong/China if the value of the goods does not exceed £100. Any help would be appreciated.

But remember that HMRC add what an item costs to what was paid for postage and insurance, (if any), to arrive at their valuation for an item. VAT is 20%. Royal Mail or UPS will act as your agents to obtain customs clearance, and if so, you'll have to cough up between £8.00 and £11.00 on delivery for the service they've provided.
