Hi Alex Monaco,
You will need to contact DPD to check if the customs charges on the shipment has been paid twice or once.
If the import was done on company’s VAT/EORI by DPD it will be recorded on a C79 and if it was postponed using PVA by DPD for the trader, it will be recorded on PVA statement.
In either of these cases the VAT will be required to be adjusted on the VAT return.
If VAT has been paid twice please have a look below guidance:
How to apply for a repayment of import duty and VAT if you've overpaid (C285)
And if the VAT has been underpaid please check below guidance:
Apply for a voluntary clearance amendment (underpayment) (C2001)
You will need to check with Parcel force about their processes and charges/fees.
For commercial imports business EORI should be used regardless who is handling the declarations and delivery.
If business EORI is not used, VAT registered trader will not be able to claim import VAT on VAT returns.
Thank you.
