How to return item to UK store and get refund on customs/import tax I paid?

unsure_tw

Hi, am considering returning an item (costs more than 200 euro) I bought from a UK based store and am just wondering if anyone knows the process of getting any customs I paid back?

The cost that I paid to the UK store was excluding VAT, which I paid to DHL (along with import duty I think) who obviously filed paperwork for customs clearance and paid on my behalf.

My questions are the following:

• What do I need to export this back to the UK shop and do I need to pay further customs/taxes on export?

How do I get a refund on a all customs/taxes I paid on import?

Thanks

Absolutely no need to be rude. Tax/Customs is not always easy to navigate and Revenue doesn't make it any easier with no in-depth guides for general consumers.

Not rude, just pointing out the very obvious.

Why would you come onto a discussion forum when the legally correct information is available with a very quick Google search?

Baffles me sometimes what people ask for and when you point them in the very obvious CORRECT direction, they call you out

Maybe you want someone to tell you an easy way - but I'll tell you now, it won't work.

you will need to do export Declaration and DHL will need to amend import declaration from free circulation to temporary import or something similar

Revenue could ask you more proof of how you sent goods back to UK
