If the goods are second-hand, do I need to pay duties and taxes?
You may still have to pay duties and taxes on second-hand goods – however, if the goods are classified as antiques or original pieces of art, you could benefit from reduced VAT depending on the national regulations and if your goods meet the correct criteria.
A statement confirming the type of artwork and date it was created is often needed on the invoice or additional paperwork. Check the customs website of the country you’re shipping to see if your goods meet the criteria.
