Quick question about importing from America/using USPS

[just Scott]

Hey guys. I've had something imported from America, and I've been checking the tracking daily. I just checked and it says:

Out of Foreign Customs, August 26, 2009, 3:33 pm, GREAT BRITAIN
Into Foreign Customs, August 24, 2009, 9:17 am, GREAT BRITAIN
Arrived Abroad, August 24, 2009, 9:15 am, GREAT BRITAIN
International Dispatch, August 19, 2009, 9:07 am, FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099
Arrival
Acceptance, August 13, 2009, 4:01 pm, QUEENSBURY, NY 12804

Since it says out of customs, does it mean I won't have to pay import tax/handling fees? I haven't had a letter yet, so I'm just wondering if it can still come seeing as it's out of customs.

Thanks

Yeah I've had a few letters before when importing from America. I was just wondering if it's still possible that I'd have to pay even though it's out of customs with no letter.

Aw.

Oh well. I didn't have to pay with the last parcel I got from America which is pretty much the exact same size/weight/value so maybe I'll get (extremely) lucky again.
