Re: Duties and Taxes
I had to pay on things bought in Dubai I shipped back to UK in Jan. '17. Shippers in Dubai said would not have to pay on personal things of a certain age ( i.e quite old - it was all nearly 10 years old). Soon as stuff arrived in UK - the receiving shippers, who are not the same as the senders immediately sent forms re. customs duties. Gave low valuations as second hand has no value - but still paid over GBP400 and not much stuff really.

Re: Duties and Taxes
be aware that repatriating pets is also now subject to duty and the TOR can help you avoid this.
