  • Import duty and VAT on second hand goods from EU

    What are the procedure on importing second hand furniture from EU for private use? I would like to buy a second hand table from a private individual in Denmark and have it sent by courier to UK. The table is for personal use - not for reselling. The value is about £2600. How do I declare this? TIA.
  • Sending private good for repair in EU

    I am a “private person” and I have 4 old chairs I would like to send to Denmark for reupholstering. I am only sending the seats and armrests, not the whole chairs. I will also send the upholstery fabric (my own) along with the chairs. I bought the chairs back in the 80’s and I have no proof of purchase. I will be sending them with a courier (UPS/DHL or alike) They will be upholstered by a registered upholstery company in Denmark. The total value of the upholstery will be approximately £700 - 800 - What export/import codes should I/the courier/the Danish upholsterer use? - What will I be charged in import duties? - What will I be charged in VAT? TIA
