Hi folks,
Hope this is the right place to post this but mods please feel to delete or move as necessary.
There are a set of golf clubs I want to buy from Costco in the UK. I have a family member who as a costco member can get them for me and then send them on through post. I'm not familiar with the customs process since Brexit but if the family member posts it to me as a 'present', am I likely to get hit with import tax/duty and what are the rates?

At a minimum you'll pay Irish VAT plus an admin fee.

Ok thanks so 23% VAT. Any idea what the admin fee is roughly?
