I ordered some computer memory for personal use on Ebay from an American seller in January. The cost was 25 euros. I have seen proof of postage and the seller now says that the package is in the hands of the Spanish customs and have given me an id number. The Aeat site just lists all the Aduana offices in Spain and as I don't know which one them might have my item that is not much help.
The only relevant info I have found is on the UK Revenue site which suggests that if I am liable for any tax it might be VAT, but that this is not collected if the amount due is less than £9. This leaves me wondering why Spain would have halted my package.
I'm looking for an easy solution here as spending a day on the phone and in the car is not so attractive. Does anyone know what I can do, bearing in mind the low value of the item?
