Probably none, but just in case, ask them to mark it as a gift

If the total cost is under GBP18 / USD36 (including shipping) then none.

It's the luck of the draw as to whether you will have to pay any import duty, even if the sender has put 'Gift' on the customs label.

I have had a £400 digital camera, an Ipod, an 5g Swiss Gold bar plus other stuff sent me from the US and so far paid nothing.

Maybe they will check the next stuff I get and I will have to pay, I also understand that the Post Office also add on a charge of their own on top of any duty payable.
