Buying at Holts after BREXIT

BREXIT has made business between the EU and the UK a bit more complicated, but there is still good business to be done. We have made the regulations more simpel to navigate in here;

As general there are no changes for a EU client in selling at Holts.

Here is the technical explanation to what BREXIT means when buying at Holts. We kindly ask you to look for the little “EU-flag” on lots at auction – lots marked with EU flag are not VAT or customs applicable when entering the EU.

Here is why: 

Customs – The UK and the EU has made a customs agreement

All items imported from the UK but not made in the UK, will be added a customs fee on 3,86% of the ammount. The fee will be VAT applicable. 

However no customs will be added if the item is produced in the UK.

VAT

As general; all goods entering the EU will be added VAT, however if the item has been exported from the EU within three years – the rule of “Re-Import of EU goods” applies.

This means, if a gun listed for auction at Holts comes from eg. a French seller, then the gun can be re-imported to the EU free of VAT. (Proof of EU origin is required)

If the guns is listed from a UK seller, VAT will be apllied.

25% VAT is aplicable on items less than 100 years old and 5% if the item is 100 years and above.
