Due to the Brexit, we are currently unable to sell goods to the UK (including Northern Ireland). Our systems are not able to handle different tax rates within the same country (UK).
Please be aware that placed orders with a UK address but a different chosen destination country will be cancelled by us.

"Import duty alert - mark it Happy Birthday or "returned faulty"
That's bad advice. Deliberately evading import taxes is a criminal offence by both the sender and recipient, and risks seizure and/or destruction of the goods, a large fine, and a criminal record - all for the sake of scrimping a few quid? Don't even think about it.

Perhaps it can be done and legal at that
HvdWeerden buys Fez887 a window regulator and informs him that he doesn't want any money for it, HvdWeerden comments that he can have it as a birthday present
HvdWeerden completes a customs form stating that the window regulator is a birthday present for Fez887 and posts the present
The above would be within the law
The law would be broken at a future date if Fez887 gave HvdWeerden money with a letter stating that the money was in payment for the window regulator
Stay calm, don't be getting so excited
Blame Brexit
It's quite simple. There are two options when completing the customs form; 1. if value is less than £39.00 and the item is a "gift" there is no tax (VAT) payable. 2. the "goods" limit is £137.00. The transfer is between Han & Fez so how Han got hold of the unit before sending it on to Fez is irrelevant. So if Han "sold" the unit to Fez for less than £137 and the value stated on the customs form is less than £137 then there is no tax payable. But remember import duty is a different issue. You'll need to check if auto parts are zero rated and then decide what to put on the customs form. Check on the HMRC web site. Start HERE & more info HERE.
17.4 million can't possibly have been wrong, can they? Really? Seriously?

Do you really think that HMRC are not wise enough to foresee little schemes like the one you suggest?
“The law would be broken at a future date if Fez887 gave HvdWeerden money with a letter stating that the money was in payment for the window regulator”
No – the law would be broken as soon as the sender and recipient agree a scheme (=collude) to evade the legally payable tax & duty ; and broken again whenever the payment was made for something that was previously falsely declared to be a gift, regardless of the stated reason for that payment.
All of the above manipulations fall within the definition of deliberately evading legally payable tax & duty. It doesn't matter what extra steps you artificially insert into the transaction process, the INTENT is the same, and illegal - to get around the VAT & import duty laws. If X receives payment for sending Y the part, it doesn't matter whether that is before or after the shipment. The only way for your proposal to work is if X genuinely sends the part as a gift and receives no payment before or after.
Like I said before - it's a few quid, for goodness sake. You'd have to be barmy to risk confiscation, a fine and a criminal record for that.
