2nd hand items are exempt from VAT.

When buying things you should tell the seller to put GIFT on the green customs form even if you have paid for it.

Sample of Merchandise should be ignored and the product value put for what you paid for the item 2nd hand.

However, to make sure they don't forget the law... put the product value as $4 or something low like that. If you are shipping Amiga stuff include the `accurate' description words vintage, old, 1980s and maybe discontinued.

Maybe you should include a surprise for those custom officials with too much time on their hands. I'd reccomend a mousetrap.

:-D :-D :-D
