2. I am Mark Nash the owner of UPakWeShip and hope you enjoy this presentation. As they say a picture is worth 1000 words, so hopefully you will get a much better idea of how to complete the customs form after watching this. You should also have a better idea of how duties and taxes work as well as items being shipped for gifts, inheritance or if you are furnishing a secondary home. I hope you like it and please email or call me with any questions Cheers & Happy Packing Mark Nash 1 866 868 6386 or 843 225 7217 move@upakweship.com 3. If you are moving your normal residency from overseas to the UK. If you are shipping a baggage, shared container, U Box, U Crate or lift van to anywhere in the UK or Europe. If you are shipping a container of your belongings to the UK 4. If you are shipping a car, motorcycle or boat then you need to complete a C104A or C108 if a temporary import or a C5 for your pet. If you are not moving your residency but moving goods for furnishing a secondary home you need to complete a C33 If your part load shipment is going to Switzerland or Norway you do not complete a C3 5. You need to declare all items are more than 6 months old. You need to declare that you have lived outside of Europe for the last 12 months You are moving your residency to UK or Europe within 6 months of arrival of cargo 6. These are charged on all items that are declared being less than 6 months old. On all gifts. On any commercial shipment e.g that has been sold to someone or is for sale. On a shipment where residence overseas was for less than 12 months. If you are not moving items within the 6 months grace period of when you arrived. If you have sold your holiday home and moving contents back to the UK. 7. These are charged on all tobacco products and alcohol in your shipment. You do not get any duty free allowance in your shipment. Duties and taxes are worked out based on the CIF value that is the declared value of your items plus the cost of shipping and insuring. So if your items are worth $800, shipping was $500 and insurance was $100 then the vat (currently 20%) would be $1400 x 20% plus the duty rate of the items that would be an additional % of the goods, insurance, shipping and tax price added up. There would also be a processing and possible courier fee on top of this as well. 8. The following shows you how a well completed C3 looks like for duty and tax free entry. Any deviance from this can cause duties and taxes to be charged by customs. 9. On Page One: Enter your name and arrival date in UK or Europe Leave the rest of page one blank, (we complete that bit) Tip Complete in pen and print letters so its easy for customs to read it. 10. On Page two: Duty and Tax Relief. Question a Question b Where it says at the time of coming to the UK, think EU. For duty free entry you need to declare that you have been living out of the EU for at least 12 months, date of moving can be same date as on page one. Then answer how many people are moving and how many are under 17. Question b wants to make sure you have not been overseas on a temporary trip. If you declare yes you will pay duties and taxes so in order to get your things in duty and tax free you need to declare No 11. Question c Question d Are you moving on marriage? Self explanatory! For duty free entry you need to be checking No. If you answer yes that you have items less than 6 months old, list items on next page. You will be charged duties and taxes on anything that is less than 6 months old. 12. Question e The page should now look something like this Most people would not have bought anything tax free so hopefully you will be checking No and moving on to the next page, 13. If nothing to declare write NONE in each box. Anything you list here will be charged duty and taxes. 14. The Back Page If you have answered questions like we said then you were not instructed to list anything on this section so write NONE. Anything you list here will be liable to duties and taxes Finish up by signing your name and listing a contact address in UK or Europe and a phone number which can be a relative or your work number if you dont have one yet. 15. You need to complete a packing list by numbering your boxes / items and then making a list of these numbers with the contents. We can email you a template to do this or you can make your own list in Word or Excel. The list needs to be like this: Box 1 Books Box 2 Clothes Box 3 Kitchenware etc etc Think of the consequences before writing gun for your kids toy gun or stuffed animal for your kids soft toy and not a stuffed rare tiger or Elephant with ivory tusks!
