nah, uk customs doesn't, to the point of requiring a surname (the no name at all in the UK was just an aside in the OP) any duty owed, they keep the original package, and send a generic invoice to the name stated, and the address. I send payment, then get the package

obviously with actual goods that need duty paid, ie any actual purchase, it's highly unlikely the label wouldn't have a full name due to the way you have to enter shipping/billing details, but quite likely you'd have 'Mr. J Smith' or whatever, and I've had stuff sent from abroad to the UK without my full name as the addressee. Jel being the 'name or identifier' I guess.
