What about the VAT on a US purchase that the HMRC sticks on? For example you buy something for 2000 quid, no US sales tax, arrives in UK, HMRC assess it for duty (usually none on the stuff I import) but they do stick 20% VAT on.
That claimable (subject to FRS etc...)?

If you're buying something in the EU though make sure you give them your UK VAT number, and then in certain circumstances they won't charge you foreign VAT to start with (business to business transactions).

You cannot reclaim foreign VAT.
International VAT can be complex, so worth having a read through the HMRC guides: HM Revenue & Customs: Reclaiming VAT on your purchases

However I can claim vat on my purchases if they are for more than £2000 on a single vat invoice. I.e. if I buy a server in the UK for £2000 + £400 vat I can claim this £400 in my next vat return.
That is clear.
The question is if I buy something from the USA totaling >£2000 + VAT (USA VAT). Do I claim this vat back in the UK?
