I bought something from Japan on Ebay for my partner, it is a Japanese figure toy costing $34, but i have been handed a grey card for delivery saying i need to pay £14 customs charge of £5ish VAT and £8ish handling charge.

I have never had to pay a customs charge on anything before and i have ordered similar items in the past, so my questions are...

1. Is it random as to whether you get stung for import duty?
2. Is there always a handling charge and how can i avoid this charge in the future?
