Nope. Why would they?
One day I’ll tell you the story of our adventures trying to import wine, and that’s within the EU!

Indeed, but no incentive for the retailer as it would mean having two price lists based on delivery address, which would be too much hassle for a small merchant or producer, especially if the non-EU customer is happy with the price advertised anyway.There’s no reclaiming of VAT needed by the merchants.
There’s just meeting the conditions to not charge it in the first place.
Will that not leave the issue of duty unaddressed?The "good" news is that this all changes again from 1 July when a service opens that will allow EU sellers to meet their UK VAT obligations without having to register in the UK and without double-charging VAT.
But in the real world, they don't have the faintest idea! Clearly I'm going to have to suck this up and just send via Aubaines de Phenix in the future.
I can bring up to 2 cases of wine back (per adult) without paying extra, can't I?How does that avoid double VAT?

Correct. AFAIK the position on excise duties has not changed as a result of Brexit.Will that not leave the issue of duty unaddressed?
Obviously I wouldn't make a trip specially - that's the whole point of that place to store until one has a cross-channel jaunt (which perhaps we do twice/year) - Obviously it helps if you have a spare adult or two. And I don't buy much in this way.Crikey, not exactly cost effective though!!
In Canada we are not legally allowed to "import" wine from one province to another. It's not even a duty-based restriction, as far as I know, just an all out ban. I think that Alberta allows it now (although they don't have any vineyards).One day I’ll tell you the story of our adventures trying to import wine, and that’s within the EU!
That’s still wine SteveHow much was shipping Ray?

Steve, It was included so long as the order went over a certain value.How much was shipping Ray?
They're totally making it up as they go (UPS).
The box arrived today, and it contained 12 bottles of still wine.So, I suspect are other parties, starting with governments. With the Brexit agreement only finalised at the last minute, legislation and procedures are still being formalised. And then freight companies, import agents and customs officials have to become familiar with the new rules.
No bill received as yet!Jonathan,
I received a C&E bill from FedEx well after the wine was delivered. Let us know if there's any follow-up..
The Northen Ireland thing still seems to vary depending on the courier/postal service one uses. APC will only accept wine for delivery to NI if you have an EOIR number, but don't add any additional charges. Royal Mail are still happy to send wine 1st Class signed for with no additional paperwork as if nothing has changed.If you think UPS make it up as they go along. Justerinis have been auditioning for Jackanory.
Their quote to ship one crate to Belfast was the whale of a story.
Processing Charge £27
Export clearance from GB £40
Export clearance INTO NI £30
Shipping charge £95.
Forgot to say Jonathan, they also wanted an EORI number!The Northen Ireland thing still seems to vary depending on the courier/postal service one uses.
