The threshold is 0. Fortunately many of the large selling platforms (Aliexpress, Amazon, Ebay Global Shipping program) can charge VAT right away which saves you the hassle and the extra fees.

Not sure what the UK is doing. This page is clear as mud: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty

My experience in the Netherlands is that it is a good practise to look for good deals locally and abroad. In some cases a local dealer could end up being cheaper. It really depends on the kind of item you want to buy so there is no generic rule.
starfry:
So DHL's so-called "Advance Payment or Disbursement charge" is currently £11.00 or 2.5% of the total Duty and/or VAT incurred, whichever is the greater.

I'll take the pain now because eventually they will have to cooperate or they lose as much as we do.

Yes, where are these brexit benefits you were looking for exactly? So far it's more expense, more hassle, and no gain.

Only because the EU is all pi55ed off that we bailed out of their little gravy train, authoritarian game and are sabotaging us, and to send a message to other countries that have the misfortune to be in the EU that this is how it will be if they dare try the same!! And lets face it, wasting time and money is their specialty!! Plus we have a group of hardcore remoaners in UK government who are cooperating with them!

They're sabotaging us? I don't see why they'd need to. The Conservatives are doing a fine job all by themselves. But that's enough politics.

Well thats another issue but as I said, government remoaners are also helping their EU masters.
