Anyone imported anything from china since brexit. Got an item i maybe interested in but not sure on customs charges and how they calculate them

Making a conscious effort to buy British where possible and when not at least to buy decent quality. Not easy when you start trying to do it as the grip the Chinese have on manufacturing is staggering.
