I have no real idea. It rather depends on the customs tariff it falls
into. I have actually spoken to Customs and Excise, and they reckon
that it ought to be free under Section 4.19 of:
http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageVAT_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000220&propertyType=document#P789_60738
But that is the sort of "free" which means "Except for a deposit to be
lodged until re-export, and a handling fee by the courier" as far as I
can make out.
That also assumes that the right paperwork is filled out, and that the
sender remembers to put the right code on.

It's all a bit of a bother!
