Buying used machinery from the EU

[GarethM]

I'd take the ferry personally, whilst customs are really arsey sending things out I bet they'll be a bit more forgiving the other way providing you have receipts etc.

 

And a eori wouldn't be a bad idea.

Not sure what that means?

 

I thought they’d be super critical about what comes in as they want their 20%?
 

Ive got my Norwegian Residency card. I wonder if that would help at all?

Eori is for importing/exporting things, it's basically a register they can check and confirm identity, plus presumably it's a business purchase ?.

Ferry from Amsterdam to Newcastle Andy as we were discussing earlier, easy to get to Germany from there too, hopefully your seller is happy to give you a nice bill of sale showing the bargain price you got it for 👍🤔.

Technically yes, a business purchase. But will be coming out if my own pocket so more of a hobby purchase.
