I'm not going to pay the duties in advance, but it looks like that it won't be hit with the $80-$200 'flat-rate' postal tariff

Royal Mail states that their PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) service means the sender can pay the duties in advance.
Global Trade Department

The $80–$200 “flat-rate” postal tariff (mentioned by some sources) does not apply to Royal Mail postal shipments — according to the UK Government guidance

Well, I have no idea! I will mark it as printed matter. That's what I mark my photo books as. So it should be ok? I just had a quick google and it said this: If you send a £60 photo via Royal Mail, the US buyer would likely pay around £6.50 extra (duty + handling).

Yeah I thought that, it's also a flex if you're trying to get gallery representation where you're basically saying 'I move in the circles of the ultra wealthy. If you give me representation I know wealthy people who will come and buy art.'

I photographed pretty full on protests in Paris and in the UK. The UK are getting much more heavy-handed, just look at the way they police the Gaza protesters compared to the far-right protesters. Generally I always tried to put myself between the protesters and the riot police

There are loads of great photojournalists in Britain who could be doing it. But once editorial was destroyed and stock photography has become worthless, unless the photographers are independently wealthy they can't afford to do it.
