Let the professionals handle it. It might cost a bit more but you will be much happier.

I would of thought Royal Mail would of been one of them........(Read the first post and then read again)

Not really. They are government bureaucrats, not professionals. Let Brian Dick handle shipping. He helped me and everything was smooth as silk.

it's a few years since I left customs but when there it used to be that the shipping companies offered an option where they did the import paperwork (Customs Entry) for you, at a charge obviously. The other alternative is to ask an import agent to do the entry for you and to submit it as soon as the goods arrive in the UK. I would take their advice as to whether it is easier to import it as a Private import instead of using your VAT no on the C88. With all the increased licensing rules it is vital that you have the right US export licences etc.. I'm sorry I cannot give more specific advice but so much has changed since I left.

Plan B, I'm having a rest........ while I think of plan C

Just happy its safe and sound and Blood pressure is back to normal.

With the help of a Forum member with similar interests and a true Professional, Plan C was put into operation............ which went like a swiss watch.

Big thanks To Forum Member ****** and again a special thanks to Ron and Colin (Seaforth72).
