Anyone with Experience Shipping to Vessel in Transit?
Does anyone on here have experience with this, in Europe?


I had a lot of parts sent to me when I was on the way to Greenland, to the Faroe Islands, as supplies for a "vessel in transit". I didn't have to pay any VAT nor any customs duty. That was cool.


I have a new mainsail coming which would involve a couple thousand euros worth of VAT if I have to pay it. It's coming from the UK and I'm a UK flagged vessel in Europe, so theoretically, this should be possible.


Anyone have any experience? Tips?
