Import duty etc....

Can one of you guys that buys stuff from the states let me know what sort of duty's I'd have to pay on some contact lenses I want to buy from a US website?

I'm currently with spec-savers on their £12/month package, I'd like to go back on their continuous wear lenses (there great) but they are £25/month, which to be frank is a bit too much for me at the moment. However if I buy the lenses from the states I can get a years worth for £100, that's £8.33 a month equivalent. I know I'll still need to buy aftercare at £36 for the year, but even with that on its still cheaper then the monthlys I'm on a the moment.

The problem is will I have to pay a large amount of duty when they come into the country? If so how does it get paid and how much?

Its all new to me, but I know some of you buy from the states regularly.

All help greatly received

Oh and I hope this is the right place for this thread
