For RoW, assume buyer pays all import duties and handling fees, if applicable. Many countries have a FTA with the UK so no customs charges payable, but please check. FYI:

Royal Mail Airmail (tracked) handed over to national delivery post office.
A very reliable service if delivery times are acceptable, usually taking between 7 and 14 days.
It's extremely rare for tracked mail to get lost but delays sometimes happen, especially during customs checks. Another tracked dispatch will be made if notified after 21 days for non delivery between February and November (50 days for Italian destinations).
During the Xmas season expect delays of up to 25 days from the volume of mail — with the backlog extending well into week 2 of January. Consider using DHL Express if purchase is made in December for delivery by 24th.
