HMRC Admin 13 Response

Hi,
The guidance on types of cash you must declare states that you must declare:
• notes and coins
• bearer bonds
• travellers’ cheques
• cheques (including travellers’ cheques) that are signed but not made out to a person or organisation

If you are carrying cash in or out of Northern Ireland, you must also declare:
• money orders
• gold coins, bullion or nuggets
• prepaid cards
I would advise contacting the Customs and International trade helpline Imports and exports: general enquiries on 0300 322 9434 for more help.
Guidance is also available at Take cash in and out of the UK.
Thank you 
 

Hi beece,
I am sorry but we have to direct you to our previous answer, provided above, to Jon.
HMRC can only answer queries relating to HMRC forms.

Bringing personal belongings from a second home are not covered under Transfer of residence to the UK
You can claim returned goods relief on the items you are bringing back to UK providing they meet the required criteria. 
Any new purchases that you are looking to bring into the UK will need to be de cl ared and customs charges needs to be paid (where applicable). 
It is up to the customers which way the want to import these, they can bring themselves or hire a freight forwarder.

Hi white,
In relation to your third post above.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is an arrangement between buyer and seller. 
Collecting VAT on behalf of an EU authority needs to be discussed with the courier and that EU authority
As previously advised this is not a question that HMRC can't advise on.
Thank you 

Hi,
The courier may ask information to complete customs declarations, you can refer them to the following guidance for EORI requirements:
Get an EORI number: Who needs an EORI
Thank you 
 

Hi,
The guidance states that If you’ve followed the correct processes for CDS exports but still haven’t received a DMSEOG notification, 
you should: 
• ignore the 45-day notice [DMSGER] and 150-day notice [DMSINV].  
• make sure you have the appropriate commercial evidence to verify the departure.
You may need this for VAT zero rating, excise duty drawback or discharging a customs special procedure with duty liabilities impact. 
You can find more guidance at Customs Declaration Service.  
Other than this you don’t need to take further action nor notify us. 
Your HMRC trader reports won’t show declarations that haven’t received departure status. For any help with live CDS declarations you can use the following link:

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’. Please see below link for more information:

Hi.
You should contact the freight company which cleared the goods for you to see if any errors have been made on the customs declaration.
