You absolute legend, thanks very much.
Spent over an hour battling parcel force and customs and got nowhere with no help, but the forum saves the day.
Genuinely thanks so much, much more of that and I'd have a seizure

Bookmarking this response for when my used bicycle [frame from the 90s made in Italy] is sent over in a few days!
EDIT: it’s been shipped and a photo of the customs form tells me it’s been coded properly.

Anyone familiar with UK customs code? I having a nightmare battling the effing useless HMRC site whose search function is shit and you can't get thro ever to an actual human who might have the correct info.
Code needed is for a used bicycle frame form the 90s made in Italy, frame/fork.and bottom bracket only, no other parts. The seller marked the item as clothing so it's been flagged.I've sent customs back paperwork and declaration saying it's defo not clothing it's a used 2nd hand bicycle frame, but they just said it needs a new code without giving g any clues as to what.
From what i can gather this comes under the category of unfinished vehicles, which i tbink comes.under section 8712. Guidance says it could be classed as finished if the bicycle consists of frame and fork and at least 2 of the following:
-set of wheels
-crank/gears
-bars and stem
-brakes
So as my parcel only contains frame and fork only with a bottom bracket it is clearly an unfinished vehicle, but then it doesn't tell me what the code for that is?
Anyone been thro this torture already and can help with codes? .id be super grateful, customs have already had frame for a month so it would be nice to finally get this frame and build it up before Xmas. Sigh
