Help with vat, by sohohoho on Jun 19, 2014 22:24:11 GMT 1, When describing the contents of the package, get the sender to write the following:
"Work of art. Tariff heading 9701."
Technically, the tariff code for prints is actually 9702 but you've got more chance of success with 9701.
Both codes fall under the same category "works of art" so no problem. I use it all the time.
Also, it's better to use UPS/FedEx/DHL/TNT rather than the domestic postal service of the sender's country. If the package was declared correctly and for some reason 5% was not charged, those four companies would do they rectifying for you, unlike Parcel Force.
