Shipping VAT

The simple answer is that you don't have to.

Get the US seller to arrange and pay for the shipping in the US and then add
that cost to the agreed car purchase price (or negotiate an 'all-in deal').
You would only pay vat on the off-loading charges at this end.

HMCE sent me the same letter as eveyone else.  I wonder what happens if you
don't rip up your existing certificate as they ask - do they check?  If if
so, do they fine you or burn it in front of your face?  It's an odd request,
isn't it - why not content themselves by just saying that the certificate is
no longer valid for import?

Odd people.

  Yep, I had my letter too.  Thats HMC&E off the Christmas card list.

  The thing I find hardest to swallow is duty on the shipping charge - if
you
  buy a Hershey bar on holiday in the USA you don't have to pay VAT on it
when
  you get home - so why do you have to pay VAT on shipping, which was
arranged
  through a US company?

  Grr.

  Shall we get a petition going as well as writing individually, or create a
  generic letter we can all sign and send individually, or what or...?
