Quite.  ".....the punitive taxes that Spain levies.....".  EU customs regulations, including duties and taxes, existed when the UK was a member of the EU, and we didn't have to pay them.  Who voted to leave the EU?

Kind regards, 

Kim

I queried this with the British Embassy and was told to contact Spanish Customs which I haven't done. If anyone can be bothered with that let me know how you get on.Good old embassy, always working hard on our behalf

Hello

 There was  much information available  online that this would happen , post Brexit & payable   from Jan 2021..

 With that knowledge, myself & 1000s of  others here, changed from shopping on Amazon UK to Amazon.es to avoid the Import tax & Vat that was payable on goods  received  from  ALL 3rd nation countries --  which includes UK), This  had been  a payable Spanish  customs tax  for many years.

Cheers

I disagree. There was an expectation of tax on new purchases and I have always used Amazon.es where possible and have stopped using Amazon UK  but I have had to pay 35€ for my own glasses which I dropped in a taxi at a UK airport and 18€ on some photos of my Grandad which my cousin sent me. This is ridiculous.

Hello

 If your glasses & photos were sent from the UK.....it's self explanatory!
