Just started using AliExpress for small non important items what I would normally buy of Amazon or eBay. Obviously these are imported, at what point does import tax become a factor? Is it the individual item, the individual order or an accumulation over time?
I know I should probably know this already but hey live on the wild side and all that.

UK Customs have a threshold at £135 - others have provided that detail. For me I usually buy lots of small value items - postage used to be free and things where a lot cheaper, but I guess there's not much you can do about that now."}],"commentCount":4,"interactionStatistic":4,"articleSection":"Buying From Abroad"}
