Grrr Import Duty
Seems I am an idiot. I just assumed VAT and duty were not applicable to second hand goods from the USA. I have been charged though, is that right?
Anyone know the score, the HM Customs site just says 'Second had goods are treated as a commercial sale.'
Does that mean I can argue the charge?

You can argue it, but will still have to pay, unfortunately

It's unfortunate that you've fallen foul of this but, if there is a next time have the seller put a note in the package asking you to
"carry out repairs to the items as discussed and return" . You obviously then won't have bought or imported the item.
