  1. You are right! Hence the investigation/claim. I had to provide all paperwork, pictures, invoices, payments etc etc. And it was clearly a gold sovereigns what was in the package, still they charged me the VAT due to a wrong number so it seems. I'll write them again on Monday.
  2. The fees are minimum. All packages handled through customs will be charged a handling-fee. The Vat is where the real hurt is. Seems like dutch customs is still learning about investment gold coins, and how to handle the packages. The real problem i encountered is that the shipping company pays the custom fees and charge them straight to you. Even when customs made a mistake then you will have to pay the full amount and then the shipping company will investigate. If customs tell the shipping company that the Vat charge was correct, then the shipping company will drop the investigation. And writing to customs directly is a difficult process.
  3. Yes, make sure they use the right RN number. I found out that it should have been 711890( https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/7118 ). But now I need costums to understand that it is investment gold. Sigh..... I think this will be the last time I import any gold coins from outside the EU tbh.
  4. I got my full 2022 sovereign just a week ago, and got charged 21% VAT on importing it. I explained exactly that, but customs still charged me as the Royal Mint marked the package with HS code 7118100000. (Whatever that means?) And according to customs a HS code 7118100000 is charged with 21%VAT. They told me they can not waiver the fees. I think Royal Mint just used the wrong HS number and now I am am billed extra.
