This is the IEEPA tariff rate, so for other countries it'll be different - the EU rate is currently 15%, for instance. I've been looking for a doc that breaks down the actual tariff rate by territory of origin of goods and literally everything I can find is out of date, but I'll keep looking.

On that PDDP service, senders will pay postal charges at the old rate +50p per parcel, plus any additional tariffs and duties. As I've said upthread books & some other items are exempt, but for most things made in the UK, there will be 10% tariff charged as a % of the declared value of the goods.
