Any place that ships internationally (or more specifically outside the

Certainly VAT isn't going to be a problem, but customs duties, on the
other hand - mostly we don't have to pay. But there's some value
threshold, and if you cross it from some of the thread titles I've seen
on the cycling forums, customs duties can be shocking, especially if
you're not expecting them. I suggest you go to a forum like Paceline
and search for "tariff".
A quick scan and I found a couple of major themes:
- UPS and FedEx are problematic and should be avoided
- Royal Mail never a problem
- DHL sometimes a problem
- Depends on the specific item; some are 0%, some 10% tariff, and
sometimes things are mis-coded and then you get unexpected charges
