uk taxes and fees for buying item from america

[mani5ha]

Hi guys,

I'm loooking rings / diamond from the US and would like to know how I would be able to calculate the price with the VAT / duty etc added. Obviously there will be 20% extra for VAT but what are the other fees? In particular looking to buy something from WF.

20% VAT plus duties plus a release fee.

I think adding 30% to the price is a good estimate.
