Sending goods for repair outside of the UK

If you are sending goods outside the UK for repair you must follow these instructions to avoid paying VAT on their return. The exact wording used is essential.

1. In addition to everything else that is required, in the 'Description of Goods' on your Pro Forma invoice you must include the following:
• Serial or product numbers, and whether items are under warranty
• RATE OF YIELD (this is the number of items going out and coming back - e.g. (1 of 1)
• ESTIMATED TIME BEFORE RE-IMPORT (in terms of dates)
• The value of the goods
• Make sure you also include the correct trade tariff harmonization/ commodity code for your equipment in Pro-Forma description
• In the 'reason for export' section, you must include - "CPC 21 00 004 OPR STATUS GOODS, REPAIR & RETURN "
2. On your Air Waybill (or point this out to Postal Services staff if they are being sent on a central service) include the following in the description of contents:
• CPC 21 00 004 [GOODS] FOR REPAIR AND RETURN
  Replace [GOODS] with a short description of the item/s, e.g. "ACME test instrument".
3. YOU MUST ALSO INSTRUCT THE REPAIRERS TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
• This process appears to run most smoothly when the inbound carrier is the same as the outbound, if this is possible. We currently use DHL for outbound.
• On the return invoice they must state the following:
  "OPR STATUS GOODS", REPAIRED AND RETURNING TO UK
• Re-imported after - (state period out of country)
• include the serial number/product code
• State warranty goods NO CHARGE REPAIR ONLY (if this is the case)
• An actual charge still has to be indicated if there is one along with the value of the goods and the number of items.

4. THE REPAIRERS MUST ALSO COMPLETE THEIR AIR WAYBILL AS FOLLOWS:

• "OPR STATUS GOODS" along with a full description in the Description of Contents box.
• Mark X in the Permanent Export box.
• They must ensure the value declared on the Air Waybill is the same as on the invoice.
• They must include the original DHL outgoing airwaybill number that they received the goods under, in the description.

Selling goods outside the UK

The University's VAT liaison office (+44 (0)118 378 5457 or vat@reading.ac.uk) has issued guidance notes on dealing with exports. The following is an extract:

3. Proof of Export

The University must ensure that is readily available for inspection by and retain such proof for six years.

Proof of export consists of

• Official evidence - normally a Single Administrative Document (SAD) (Form C88 stamped by Customs on exit of the goods from the UK; OR
• Commercial evidence (see below)

Commercial evidence is of two types:

• Primary evidence issued by shipping lines, airlines and railway companies in the form of waybills.
• Secondary evidence issued by freight forwarders and carriers who export goods for exporters (DHL are frequently used by the University)

The text in the list below has the force of law.
Proof of export MUST clearly identify:

• The supplier (The University);
• The consignor (where a carrier is used);
• The customer;
• The goods;
• An accurate value;
• The export destination; AND
• The mode of transport

4. Postal exports

Goods exported by post may be zero-rated if they are direct exports and the University holds the necessary evidence of posting to an address outside the EC. The rules provide for using the various services offered by the Post Office, as well as the services provided by courier and fast parcel service operators. The University Postal Services only recommend the use of DHL in these circumstances. Please note that Postal Services require that you email them at postroom@reading.ac.uk in advance of sending (or taking) the item to them, repeating your request (on their ) for DHL for VAT purposes. They require a description of the item to be sent and destination details. Please ensure that Postal Services provide you with a copy of the DHL Shipment Receipt, which should be retained for six years.

Proof must be retained for six years and to that end we return all documentation to the sending Department with a label indicating as such.
