As I understand the VAT, it just must be available for inspection when requesting the VAT (ie, not in a packed bag already with the airlines).

Dreamdoll, you are right, the violet croc was lovely but so was every other one that I saw. Did not see any new kellys tho'.

Hey wawa - did you get your H? How did the whole tax thing go?

there is a thread somewhere about detaxing in London. sorry i can't find it right now but one of the fellow tpfers went into extreme details about it. you may wish to do a search!

Here is the thread that Hanyeu was referring to.

From the personal experience of relatives/friends who have had VAT experience I would strongly advise you to be prepared to show your goods at the VAT counter before and AFTER check in. Many times travellers have been denied VAT refund if the goods have been checked into the suitcase, particularly high ticket items.
