The consequence is you pay UK VAT and not Czech VAT.

The VAT now goes the UK Treasury.

'Conseqences'? Instead of paying VAT to the Czech government, he will
instead be paying it to the UK Governemnt. The Chinese, as usual, are
ahead of the game, they charge the VAT on ordering, which they are then
supposed to send to the UK Goverment???

It's down to the amount whether the sender charges UK VAT or not,
nothing to do with where it came from.

For purchases valued up to (I think it is) £135 the seller has to
collect the UK VAT and pass it on to HMRC. For purchases over this
amount the seller doesn't charge VAT but it will be charged somehow
when the item comes into the UK.

I.e. you now get charged 'tax' in addition to the advertised price
when you buy things from AliExpress, previously it was very rare to be
charged any VAT/Tax at all.
