Yes, you would need to add import duties to the purchase. I believe 28% although I could be wrong on that. Not kept up to date with it for a while.

Why buy from the US? The girl would still actually arrive from China.

Believe it or not, UK vendors are the best option as they are also there to ensure that things are resolved if what turns up is damaged or not what you ordered or the delivery company tries to play silly buggers or border force decide that your 5 foot 32kg girl with double D cups is childlike.

Trust me, you don't want the hassel and worry. Buy from one of those that I suggested and you will sleep better.

Not such a bargain.

Choose the path of least resistance.

A few years back i purchased a Mechadoll (Direct from the from themanufacturer) in USA .

She was around £3500 once she got to UK customs i had to pay almost £600 in taxes to the Uk goverment so that i could have this doll in my home.

So yes if its a doll shipped from the USD then you will be hit with import charges.

If she is sent from China "most" vendors include the tax in the price of the doll..

I ordered a Realdoll from the USA direct from Real Doll and yes, i got stung with the import duty.

It was an expensive experience, purchase from a UK seller if possible, it will save you some money.
