If they get stopped at customs, they will be confiscated and destroyed

Ok first as long as you dont mind buying copies/fakes & as Ian says probably be taken if inspected,if you ship from China via EMS it will be delivered here by Royal Mail & if the package is small the chance of your package getting inspected & paying any import duties is slim.
If your parcel is inspected you will pay import duty which for these is probably around 5% on top of that will be £11 inspection fee plus 15% vat on total cost goods,shipping & inspection fee.
If you ship by Courier you are virtually certain to be charged import fees.
