David Lamyman Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 We're moving back to the UK after being here for 20 years. Working in the hospitality industry, I have about 300-400 bottles of wine. I would prefer not to drink them all before I go back. Like the rest of my already purchased possessions (and therefore paid tax on them), I'm hoping to get my wine back without paying duty. Or am I dreaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Suspect you are dreaming. Here is the calculator. http://www.dutycalculator.com/dc/220221/books-movies-music-instruments/books-and-magazines/audio-books/import-duty-rate-for-importing-wine-from-france-to-united-kingdom-is-3.5/ Sounds like you might be having one helluva leaving party. Otherwise there will be plenty of PomsInOz members who would be willing to take them off your hands lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungo Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have just a few bottles of expensive wine which are from years or our birth. They have travelled across the world with on a few international moves and I lost count of number of times I have had to pay tax on them! I hid them in luggage this time though as I was fed up with it. It is only three bottles though, there is no hiding 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
