A question.

If I ship something back to the U.K., that was purchased in the U.K. and has already had VAT paid on the goods, I'm still gonna have to pay VAT, right?

What about if it was taken as sports equipment on a flight - I shouldn't have to declare it, right? It originated and was paid for in the U.K.

You might have to fill in a form or two but you can ship them as personal effects (if you bought them in the EU and haven’t had VAT/duty refunded on export).

Got it. Thank you. My mum, who is visiting in October, has said she’ll take it back for me on her flight as sports equipment so I’ll look into forms to give her just in case. Definitely haven’t had VAT refunded on it - used it for two years in the U.K. before I moved to the U.S.!
