| Thanks, Richard!
So, if I give the 18.44 to my sister-in-law, along with CHF 35.50 (7.5 % tax on CHF460 / £200 household items less than six months old) to give to customs, then that should be ok?
I'd be one happy bear if that's ok!

Give her the money but don't declare it. At the end of the day you are allowed to bring in new stuff to the value before VAT of SFr. 300. UK VAT is 17.5% so that equates to ca 350 Francs. All you then need to do is get as much as possible of the 350 in items but not over to one side and declare on the rest. If you have just one item then you are out of luck. If you have two and there are two people driving down and none of the items are over SFr. 350 (uk equiv) then you get them to say they are bringing them as presents and you are okay.
