Interestingly posters used for public displays are standard rated but one of our members Alex_DeLarge got stung when receiving his Star Wars poster back from sending it away to be autographed. So he may have been hit unfairly as his posters are for private use (and they were his own property!)!

YES, £35 customs tax I had to pay for my (already) own property back from the US. It was marked as $200 value which was well under valued, so God knows what I'd have paid had its true value been declared. I guess I have be thankful in some way, but not that much.
