# Nah, they've got that covered
"Goods sent as a gift that are over £40 in value are liable to import VAT. Customs duty also becomes payable if the value of the goods is over £135 but is waived if the amount of duty calculated is less than £9."

They'll almost certainly open it if it's heavy for its size, and if it doesn't match the customs declaration we're both fucked.
