Reply With QuoteIs there not a declaration form you and the watch company complete to state it’s going back for repairs and VAT has already been paid? I have a watch that needs to go back to Germany soon and that was my understanding.

This article is a good summary of what is needed.

Unless DHL know in advance exactly what the situation is, with all the correct paperwork, then they will simply pay the charges on your behalf - then chase you for it.
They are not "robbing" you. They have already paid the import VAT. They are trying to "recover" it from you. Their additional fees for doing so are close to robbery, but that's another matter.
Right ,not sure what Ace put on the return form.Looks like I’ll be paying twice.Originally Posted by b-rad
