Will I pay customs fees when ordering a “sold by Amazon EU” good on Amazon UK?

Question

I would like to buy a ca. £75 item on amazon.co.uk which is “Sold by: Amazon EU”, and to be delivered in the UK (England).
The confirmation pane looks like this (promotion = free delivery):

Question: Should I then expect to pay customs fees when receiving the parcel?
I still struggle with the subtleties of the UK-EU free trade agreement, and there have been stories about hefty duties (+ processing fees) to be paid upon receiving an order.

It is more an empirical observation than a justified answer, but “something” happens around the £150 threshold: When the total of goods “sold by Amazon EU” exceeds it, a deposit for “import fees” is added to the order (as seen in the confirmation page):

Edit: According to The Guardian in Customers in Europe hit by post-Brexit charges when buying from UK, the threshold is actually 150€:

Despite the tariff-free deal, customs duties will apply to goods ordered from the UK that do not originate from Britain. Goods ordered from and manufactured in the UK should not attract customs duty, but products ordered from the UK worth more than that €150 and shipped from outside Britain will.

P.-S.: I eventually ordered the (≤ 150€) good, received it, and I didn't had to pay anything extra upon collection.
