Anyone know cost of import duty for £33.99 Ultimate Box set Toy Story R1?

I want to order this box set from Play.com but I get a warning that I may be subject to import duty. Does anyone have any idea how much the duty would be? Bearing in mind even second-hand box sets seem to be selling for around £31 or £32 on ebay, it may be still worthwhile. R2 set on Play is £42.99. Any help appreciated!

I got one from devoted in oz. I think its about £24 with postage and they mark it as a gift. So no import duty. If you must have R1 DVD soon mark everything as a gift and put a cheap price on the box. Don`t know what they charge for it though. My Simpsons box set had £12 on the customs slip although it cost £20 ish.

I`ve ordered it last weeks from Play and just received it yesterday. Lucky enough, didn`t have to pay any import duty.
