No you don't, you are exempt from taxes when buying in the States and shipping here, that's why you get taxed VAT, a U.K. only tax. And the import tax is to discourage you from buyinh outside the U.K.
I sorta know Brett from element (well I almost threw up on him last Monday....)
What do you want to know?
EDIT, I should have read the post better.... I can probably get one off him and bring it back to the UK when I come home in a couple of weeks, but I/he would need paypal up front (im paypal verified if that helps)
