I've seen a few questions regarding this that seems to put people off from buying juice from outside the UK, it really isn't that expensive nor complicated.
The UK charges Import Duty of 12.8% of the total value of good including shipping and insurance [if any]. Basically it will be 12.8% of your total payment.
It is exempt from VAT.
To calculate in advance this site is handy - Import duty & taxes made easy | DutyCalculator
e-liquid comes under Food & Drinks > Drinks Non-alcoholic Beverages > Health Drinks in Powder and the HS commodity code is 2106.90.9260 Info on this code and what it covers can be found here - TARIC Measure Information
A handling fee may also be added by the company used for shipping so that would be worth checking. Info on that here - Will there be any extra charges from the shipping provider? - DutyCalculator Help Center
It might be too much hassle for some people but for others that really want products from abroad I don't think it's much of a mission.
Hope this is of some use to a few of you.
