Can I change a car's value after it has been customs cleared?
Hi, I have imported five cars from Japan into Ireland.
For these cars, I was issued with two different invoices by the seller. One invoice showed higher values for all five cars, while a second invoice showed the correct purchase prices.
Unfortunately, due to my own mistake, I sent the higher-value invoice to my customs agent, and the cars were cleared through Customs using that incorrect invoice. The vehicles have now been released.
I now have the correct invoice, proof of bank transfer for the actual amounts paid, and auction hammer price documentation.
Is it possible to resubmit the correct documents and request a revaluation or refund of any overpaid customs charges based on the true purchase prices?

Hi there,
My cousin bought a 2020 car from the UK and lives in Northern Ireland. He has owned the car for six months and is looking to now sell it. Can I buy this car from him and import it into the Republic without paying duty or VAT?
