HMRC declared value on AllChinaBuy parcels

Undervaluing at AllChinaBuy checkout is common — HMRC can re-assess using market data.

UK buyers often declare £15–25 per kg. HMRC adds 20% VAT on (value + shipping + insurance) plus possible 12% textile duty.

The £135 threshold

Under £135: VAT often collected at point of sale or by carrier. Over £135: full customs declaration required.
