Depends on the customs rules of your home country. I think that most countries do not allow travelers to import soil and plants.

Yes, that is a question for the Customs department of your own country. In New Zealand for example it would be an actual crime to do so as the plant or soils may contain insects that would damage native plants or diseases that would infect livestock, like foot-and-mouth, but your country may have different regulations.
If you are from the UK I think the answer is probably no, as island countries tend to be the strictest on biosecurity.

It doesn't make any difference how it comes into the country, by plane, post or ship, if the item is restricted it isn't allowed in. Posting it won't remove any insects or diseases that might be hiding in the plant or soil!

They --plant nurseries and plant shops--sell bonsai in continental Europe so they likely sell them also in the UK.
