Import Duty
After my recent duty charge. Is there (hypothetically of course) anyway to avoid this tax?
Someone suggested a note saying please repair and return. If the item was new I don't think this would work.
Any other hypothetical ways? Declare the parcel value as below £18?

Customs men hate people trying to fool them, anyone would. It all depends on whether they've got the time or inclination to check.
Do you feel lucky?

hypothetical solutions
Isn't it great telling lies and robbing the taxman knowing that you are ducking out of your fair share or schools hospitals etc really gives me
a buzz...

Yes fair one, but when my employer gets £35.6Bn of the yearly Gov spending and "Disabled/Too lazy to work" get £110Bn then I feel pretty
robbed most of my life.

Items replaced under warranty (and clearly labelled as such) have already had the duty paid, I'm pretty sure they don't charge again...

Does "gift" work? I thought it was not what you paid for it (or zero) but the market value, i.e. the same as if you get
"given" work benefits you have to pay tax on them.
