So something of mine broke and the company are shipping me a refurbished unit. The unit is being "sold" by a company based in the US, but it is shipping from the Netherlands. I believe they have put the value of the product at £260 because it is a refurbished unit and they are taking my old unit away, but the original cost was £1000.

Due to Brexit, should I expect to pay import tax? If so, how much? Not sure if I should be footing the bill or the company, considering it's a warranty claim....?

I don't think it'll make any difference, but the courier is Fedex.

Many thanks in advance!

Depend how it’s labelled, you might have to pay vat then claim it back unless the supplier had paid it for you.
