Customs Charges UK

I am just wondering how likely it is that I will have to pay customs charges and if there is any way to avoid it apart from buying from the UK. Thanks

Hey there i do regular importing i think if the value of the item you are importing is over something like £35 then you have to pay customs charges.

The only way i have found to avoiding this is buying from a country that is part of the EU, i only have 1 EU supplier but i havn't used them as yet so im not 100% sure if this will avoid customs charges.
