I will be leaving for the UK on Feburary 18,2013 (next week) I have my fiance visa and will be marrying my British fiance on March 30, 2013.
I have a question about getting through customs. In addition to my other baggage of personal use belongings, I will be bringing 2 guitars with me. One is a travel guitar in its own compact backpack--a Voyage Air-- and the other is a hardcase Takemine acoustic guitar. They are under a year old and I have my US receipts for them.
Will I have to declare these items and will I be subject to a duty tax of VAT on them? They are my personal guitars. Thank you.
