Stuck in LA

[croyde]

Went to visit my girlfriend but sadly her mum is very ill so she has had to fly to see her with the rest of her family .

So I'm sitting here in her apartment on me tod with her VW Passat CC for company.

I miss her and I'm missing my Mustang. Funny to think I have a rare car in the UK and I'm now using a rare European car over here.

Seen only a few S550s on the freeways but I am so jealous of the sequential indicators.

Get things delivered to your gf's apartment to bring back for your mustang

I have to go in a few days but if I get stuff delivered here and she sends it on, will it escape import duty and vat?

Hi,

I think gift and birthday presents get different treatment, might need to have more than one birthday like HRH

Doesn't look like its possible to avoid taxes in their entirety.

A relevant bit - a gift is something that "has not been paid for, either directly or indirectly by the receiver".

The difference between possible and legal.

Hope everything turns out OK for you.
