I'm thinking of asking a friend to bring back a small specialist part from the UK to Portugal when he flies this way.
The supplier has quoted me an ex-VAT price 'for immediate export'.
Obviously saving 20% is a nice little bonus if I can get it.
But what does this entail? The supplier needs a flight number so am I landing my friend in a world of complication with declaring what he's carrying for IVA? And presumably I end up paying the 21% Portuguese IVA so don't actually make any savings?
And what *actually* happens, in practise?
