Slightly random, but if anybody would know/have an idea, I'd be grateful.
Currently visiting my homeland (Czech Republic) for my birthday (visiting from UK).
I've received a birthday present worth around £1000 (kitchen robot/food processor)
I need to get it back with me to UK.
Don't want to go with Ryanair as not sure if they accept such a big box on the plane and also: more expensive than posting, don't trust how they handle the box, just overall extra hassle when already travelling with 2 bags...
Decided to go with posting by courier.
But now the main question is:
Do I get charged Customs Duty, Excise Duty, Import VAT and other stuff?
Can I still get charged when I'm sending myself a package (a gift), which doesn't have any invoice inside, it's not brand new anymore (I've unboxed it, checked it out)?
Really confused about this.
Thanks so much.
