Hi, I’m planning to drive back to Poland from England and bring some LVT flooring with me for my house, so personal use. Do I need to pay duty if it’s for personal use and not for resale? If so, can I be guided to the right form I have to fill out?

If you are importing into Poland then you need to check their requirements. You may however need to actually clear customs at the first point of entry into the EU if you are driving. You should check that countries requirements. The EU does not have any duty concessions for goods for personal use other than the personal allowance for other goods that you carry . This is generally €300 but you should check their local requirements . It may be possible to make verbal declaration at the border by going through the red channel . It’s not relevant that the goods are not for resale. Duty and VAT is charged on any goods over the allowance

Hi ,
 
You can bring some goods from abroad without having to pay UK tax or duty, if they’re either for your own use or
you want to give them as a gift.

The amount of goods you can bring is commonly known as your ‘personal allowance’.

Thank you .
