To move any good across borders is a mine field after coming out of europe :o

You could say that about anything from driving to HMRC, but a little bit of guidance from the courier companies, is that really too much to ask?
Trigger:
For UPS to advise on how to export and import. They would need a whole department of lawyers and other staff as, the HMRC keeps moving the goal posts on TAX laws and to cover those costs, then they would have to put the prices up of there services to cover this and customers would complain that there services are too expensive ;)
royhall:
Exactly, HMRC keep moving the goalposts. As we appear to have people on here that know these systems well, how about we start a thread about how to send things abroad to get work done, or how best to minimise charges when importing/exporting. Like most people in the world I wasn't born knowing how to do this, and as Trigg correctly states, it's a very complicated system that needs lawyer's. We need all the help we can get so a thread on the subject may be a fantastic help.

If you cross my palm of my hand with silver i could of advised you how it is done. All the forms are on the GOV site but, you have already sent the package and made a false declaration.
I would of said, i bought the carbs from Holland before the date we left europe and that they have to go back for repair by the supplier ::) You may have to prove the original receipt of purchase ???
If you want to ship goods in from anywhere in the world. First you need a UK VAT number. Open a business in the country which you would like to buy goods from, and you need a VAT number for that business in the that country. Then you can do a stock transfer from one of your companies outside the UK to your business with in the UK. You do not have to pay VAT or any import duties then. There is a catch, if you sell any of those good then, you must charge VAT at UK rate and pay VAT.
HMRC are not stupid and have it very well sewn up ;)

Like I said, in future source all services in the UK. That last post just proves the hopelessness of the venture.
