I just ordered a
Fountaine Pajot 45 that I'll pick up in La Rochelle
France and take directly to the
Med for personal use. I'd like to ship over my existing
dinghy and other used
gear (nothing new). Does anyone know if you have to pay VAT on the used
gear? I read that you don't if you can prove that you purchased it at least a year in advance of arriving in
France. Thanks for any
advice anyone has on this.
