    Definitely no customs charge if you are sending from Ireland to the UK. There is free trade between all EU countries. ie. No customs charges.

    No charge in this case. Excise duty & VAT still applies only to applicable items within the EU, at least to imports here.

    Excisable products (for example, alcohol, tobacco and oil) purchased within the EU via the internet or by mail are subject to excise duty and VAT
