Thank you (@Customs Shield, @Customs oldtimer and @HMRC Admin 17 Response ), between you I am now clear on what is needed, Oli

Many thanks for your reply. Just to check - can this can be done retrospectively? The clock is already in the country. Could the donor do the import declaration / payment themselves? Thank you

Hi A USA citizen visiting the UK brought a small clock (100 years old, value £300-£500) into the UK for study/assessment but has now decided to donate it to a museum. Since this would be a gift, should he pay VAT/duty? If so, how would he go about doing this? Thanks
