Reclaiming VAT

    Hey guys,

    Recently bought a bass off of a company in America, and it arrived, and everything was grand.
    Then yesterday I got a letter off of FedEx, looking for €137 for VAT, from when it came into the country.
    I'm 18, still in school, and have no job or source of income.
    Any way for me to not pay it, or claim it back?

    No. But they really should have collected before delivery. Excise duty and or VAT may be payable on any product imported from outside the EU.
