Subject: Sending engine from France to UK for rebuild; customs issues?
At last looking at sending my LG6 engine to a specialist in the UK. Will probably use DHL (other recommendations welcome). I thought their driver, or their office, would prepare/complete all the necessary documentation. Instead, the small print indicates not! My main concern is that surely no duty or other charge can be due, as the "export" is temporary only, and the engine is not being sold.
Can anyone offer advice regarding this ... both as to the forms I'll need, and how to complete them correctly so as to avoid unwanted cost/delay issues?
A side issue is that, strapped to the engine, thus integral to the shipment, will be a box of parts already removed and new parts for the rebuild. Will I need to list every part?
