We moved to Yorkshire in Sept 2016. We were rushed because of declining health of parents. We were moving into a small cottage that was furnished so left much of our possessions in the US, planning to bring them over at a later date. The things we brought were shipped with UPak/WeShip and in general, we were satisfied with that arrangement. They could have been a little more responsive in answering questions about documentation, etc. We used a C3 form to qualify our goods. We now have a much bigger house and want to bring over more things but discover that the transfer or residence allowed for under the C3 document expires after one year. It's possible that we can get an exemption from the TOR1 limit of 12 months given the circumstances of our original move but my question is if anyone can tell me what to expect in the way of import costs (not the shipping costs but the charges levied by HMRC) for used, household items if I'm shipping them from the US to the UK outside of the TOR1 allowance. Thanks.
