URGENT!!

Hey guys, I just got my bus from the States and was refused importation by 'move of residence' so now I need to get an official valuation so they can calculate the VAT and duty 'due'.

How do I get this 5% and what are the criteria?

Beef would you mind either pm me or posting the info on here?

I have a 70 Panel project.
What was your declared/valuated value?

If I could an answer soon would be great!

Cheers

Andy

Hi Chris,

That's brilliant, thank you very much for posting this so quickly.

I will send them a letter like this when I get an 'official' valuation.
How did you determine the value of your car, was that a conversion of your bill of sale?
What condition was your bus in?

Cheers
