Apologies if this has been covered before, but it seems the vast majority of posts concern either people bringing items into France, or relate to temporary travel.
A French friend’s son lives and works in London. His father, my friend, is an excellent cabinetmaker, and has renovated some furniture which belongs to the son. He intends to take it over to him shortly.
I’ve looked at the Gov.uk guidance, and it’s no help. These are personal possessions not business goods, but as they have been in the son’s ownership a long time there is no purchase documentation, and no definitive idea of value. The father wants to be up front and honest, but I can’t see how he can complete a customs declaration. The items are no doubt worth more than £390 - but he has no idea how much and they weren’t bought with Euros.
Any ideas?
