Just had a quick look but couldn't find the info.
Just won an item from Canada. What do I need them to quote on the custom form so I don't have to pay 20% import tax?
Cheers

There is a HMRC tax code (which in my case they've ignored every time and even told me it was no longer valid and I've always had to pay and reclaim later) to be taxed at 5%. It is:
Old Collectable Toy' HMRC code 9705000090
