Yes, to send any international parcels from a country, customers will be requested to pay the customs charges to permit the parcel. Usually it includes import duty, excise duty and import VAT. But the rates depend upon the type and value of the parcel that you are sending.
In some cases to export goods from a country like US the customers must include a customs declaration stating the value of the item. If the VAT is paid by the shipper then the parcel will be promoted for delivery if not goods won’t be delivered until the fee has been cleared.
To find out the customs Duty rate for a product you can contact the HM Revenue and Customs Customer Care Number of the corresponding courier company to solve your query.
