Hello everyone, I don’t understand why I have to pay VAT (?????) on the purchase of a used item (in the sense that it was bought in one place A and is now being resold by another professional seller) coming from the USA?What is this VAT about?It’s a used item, so at worst I was expecting to pay customs duties, but VAT ????Besides, there is no VAT on second-hand/vintage goods in France, so why would there be in this case?Thanks,Pierre
