I paid my customs comprising of:
£6.02 - Import VAT
£13.50 - Parcel Force Clearance fee
Total: £19.52

I ordered two TDKR TW.

From looking at the declaration below on the package, it shows:
NT$ 1700

NT means New Taiwan Dollar.

Currency converter for $1700 TWD (I cannot find NT) is £36.28. The threshold we can have for gift in the UK is £40.

So it appears that I have been nabbed £20 from customs as according to the calculations it is below £40 and marked as 'Gift'.

The question can I really be bothered to write a letter to the UK Border Agency and challenge to be refunded my charges?

Sunny, trouble is limit went down to £36 wef 01/01/13 so they would probably still nab you. They probably viewed as Commercial Consignment see here, and limits are much lower, and include postage I think too.

Yes, Warner Bros is almost always region free and all the TDKR are definitely not locked.

Well it still clearly shows 'gift' marked, so it appears I been nabbed regardless. I qualified for VAT exempt but HM Revenue will always find a way to get our money for the government.

Can anyone confirm whether the finish is the rough Matt of the US/CAN or the smooth lustre finish of the UK/ Eirope?

Here's my copy.

Its still sealed so I can't tell what the finish is like.
Looks smooth under the shrink wrap though!!

Defiantly the best version with a great slip.
