No, they don't. - you should not be charged sales tax on an export order, but you may pay duty and
VAT on entry to the UK. Ask them to ship USPS letter post or Global Priority, not UPS/Fedex if
possible as the latter charge excessive customs clearance fees. Stuff shipped USPS comes via Royal
Mail, who quite often forget to charge duty/VAT even when it is due.
