andydye Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Exactly this, I wondered whether we have Spanish brethren on here who could help: 1) source gear from within Spain to avoid us having to 'import' it to play shows then 'export' it again afterwards? 2) advise on places to get merch printed up (tshirts and cds) Quote
Mykesbass Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Can't you take it in on a carnet? Will cost (£400 ish) but is the official way of taking kit across borders if it is coming back again. Doesn't help for merch though. Quote

Steve Browning Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Have a look at the process called duplicate list on HMRC. Similar to carnet but free. 1 1 Quote

Downunderwonder Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Beats me how that process is supposedly more complicated than a carnet. Give gummint two copies of your inventory, leave, come back with same inventory, boxes checked and on your way home. 1 Quote
jrixn1 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I have no experience in this area, but I watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7DlM_Nc96U He is saying duplicate list is only of use at the UK border. I.e. you can use it to get out of and back into UK fine - but you still have the separate task of getting in and out of Spain... From HMRC's form: "You can only use the duplicate list procedure and form C&E1246 to help with the temporary export of goods and the subsequent return of the same goods to the UK. [...] A customs declaration must be completed and any financial security must be given which may be required by the country to which the exporter takes the goods." Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 If only we knew all this before we 'took back control' of our borders...? 1 6 Quote
