Graham - the law as enforced over the last 30 years had a significant element of discretion for Customs. True - use retired prolonged holiday makers - are not Ex pats returning, but the law has has discretion applied to it. It is essential to get a declaration that there will be NO CHANGE in the implementation of this discretion. No discretion = shit streetWhilst someone returning from several years circumnav may be deemed an expatriate, UK residents wishing to bring their boats back from EU are not.
