Now that we are no longer in the EU you should be able to buy items

Not quite, no VAT by the EU country, but for items under £135 (same
threshold as duty) the EU seller should add UK VAT at point of sale and
then pay it to HMRC.
It was always thus when importing items from outside the EU, you paid
both VAT and duty (if applicable) on imports.

For items over £135 that's still the case,

No it's not
