That sounds quite bothersome! I'm under the impression that a lot of the documentation/declaration requirements depend on the carrier and service you're using and generally, more established shipping companies seem to be able to abstract the process a lot (although I can't say with confidence that it's the same in the UK, especially post-brexit). In general, package forwarders in the US only require a short abbreviated "laymen's terms" description of the contents that they don't seem to challenge in any way at all (I've brought over instruments, LA and scope blades for the 16700 mainframe, consumer and industrial electronics like servo drives and motors, teach pendants for robots etc., mostly multiple packages consolidated into a single shipment). Depending on the arrangement, duties and VAT was either billed and paid for when placing the shipping order _or_ I got notified by mail with the instructions when the goods reached the country, then after I paid the duties, it cleared customs and it was on its way to me.
