kissakai Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Hi I have a tsuba in Japan that will shortly submitted to the Shinza panel (my first for Shinza) After the results how do I the tsuba back to the UK without incurring excise duty? Quote
Kronos Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Mark it as "personal belongings" on the customs form when it is returned and do not include a value. At least this is what i was told by a customs agent when there was a little confusion getting a sword returned from Australia. Quote
Ian Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Paul Martin is the way to go IMHO It takes ALL the hassle out Quote
AndyMcK Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 Hello there! Many countries in EU (or still in ;D ) still collect taxes on services performed which was a big suprise for me after first polishes and blades coming back. Also they will tax the postage costs.. or well atleast here in Finland where everything is taxed and taxed again. Have the receipt from the export postage ready and also service fees from Japan just in case they do not release it with just "personal items returning" markings. Br, Antti Quote
kissakai Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Posted February 4, 2017 Hi Thanks for the fast replies I would definately advise anyone to use Paul Martin but as I had a friend in Japan I asked them to submit the tsuba Quote
