Meh. UK Customs.

Getting something shipped to me from the US, and at the moment its sitting in Parcelforce's international hub...apparently waiting to be cleared by customs.
How long does this stuff usually take? And will they charge me for just looking at it?
Its rather annoying.

What is it?

Drugs or weapons?

You may have to pay import duty (think it's the same rate as VAT) but that is all you will need to pay. Normally only takes a few days.
