Double charged for VAT on a purchase... how to reclaim one lot of it?
So, I bought a load of stuff on Aliexpress. Lots of little items, and paid VAT on it at checkout in the normal way. Aliexpress consolidated the items into one shipment, with a total value of just over £135. Border Force charged me import duty (fair enough), and VAT for a second time. Who do I go talking to to get the secondary VAT payment back? Presumably Border Force, but I'm unsure. How does one go about this?
