There is an online info:

usually it works out at 5% duty plus 20% vat on top. The total cost also includes the postage. The postage costs from USA are normally quite high. If it is then delivered by Royal Mail then their handling charge on top. If it is sent by courier then sometimes it is all inclusive.

i would ask the person in USA you are buying from what method they use in shipping. If it is USPS then it will be delivered by Royal Mail here.
