It's been that way for at least the past four years.

if its marked as a gift and the cost is below ?36 sterling, so you can buy blu-ray writers for your PC for ?25 and pay no tax if they marked it as a gift, when they are ?80 uk retail

Oh yeah if it's not shipped EMS then chances are you won't get charged anything. I've had plenty of shipments from Japan over ?50 and the only time I was charged import duty was when they were shipped EMS (everything else has been Airmail). Then again, I'm not sure how reliable China's postal service is so maybe it isn't a good idea to not get tracking on packages from there. :P
