It's unbranded ... that will hit resale if you sell it anytime. You don't know if it's great or junk. You may be liable for VAT and Duty on import and also, naturally, for P&P. I would say avoid this item. Even if you get away with no import fee's (20% or so) it may be junk.
Just my opinion ...

Take a look at this on Ebay I had zero problems & it was fast delivery.
Buy most of my stuff from USA Ebay as even with tax/import duty (if you get caught for it) you still save from £100 upwards,
just make sure the seller has good feedback and not just for cheap items.

Don't let the fact that it's from the U.S. put you off. I have ordered items from there and had the shipment split with partial delivery to Australia and rest to Philippines without issue.
Tax is one concern.
Seller credibility is the other concern.
A bit of research will see you right.
Good luck
