I am not very good with absorbing rules and regs,

I have someone who wants to buy a jacket and is in Nothern ireland.
I intend to send it hermes, the jackets value is £80.
how does this work now? when the buyer receives, does he get hit with a bill or do I?

As you have to state the value on the form and to the courier, the chances are he will be charged VAT on the value of the goods and the postage, also a charge by the courier for collecting it.(as for customs purposes NI is in the EU)
This is intended to stop items that go to Northern Ireland going into the ROI at a cheaper rate.
I have just returned some items to ROI at a value of £150 and the recipient has been charged 70€ duty vat etc, the items were sent for repair as they were defective.
Let us know how you got on, if you do send the item.

Thanks for keeping us updated, I'm interested in this as well. There seem to be so many mixed reports that it seems a bit hit and miss at the moment.
