Customs charge on Camera bought in the UK

irlrobins · 2008-05-08 23:00:34

Bought a camera in the UK today, just wondering if I bring through Dublin airport tomorrow will I have to pay customs on it? Or since I paid VAT on it in the UK I don't have to pay it twice? Thanks

Its part of the EU so you won't pay customs.

We really need a sticky to inform folk that if an item is bought duty/vat-paid in the EU then there aren't any further duty/vat obligations.
