If you are bringing commercial goods into Great Britain (excluding returning goods) that are not classed as controlled goods, valued below £1,500 and weigh less than 1000kg you can make an oral declaration to a Border Force Officer at the port if facilities exist or use HMRC’s simple online declaration service before coming into Great Britain. You’ll also need to declare your goods to customs according to the customs rules in the country of destination. If you are taking commercial goods in your baggage to the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, to sell (for example merchandise), you must check the customs requirements in the country you’re travelling to. List of goods applicable to oral and by conduct declarations If you don’t use a temporary admission procedure by going through the green channel, by declaring your goods orally, or by using an ATA Carnet, you may have to declare your musical instruments or equipment and pay duties on them according to the customs rules in the country of destination, every time you take them through customs. If your musical instruments or equipment aren’t accompanied (‘unaccompanied’ - moved as freight by a haulier and/or transport operator where the individual is not present), you can use an ATA Carnet as a temporary admission procedure (there is a cost for this). You can do this if your musical instruments or equipment are for personal or business use. This may mean an ATA Carnet is not required in these circumstances. If your musical instruments or equipment are in your baggage or a vehicle (‘accompanied’ – carried or taken by an individual in their personal baggage, or a vehicle, which travel with the individual throughout their journey), you may be able to use a temporary admission procedure in the country of destination, to pay no duty on them by going through the green or ‘nothing to declare’ channel, or by making an oral declaration for musical instruments and equipment to a Border Official. If you are taking your musical instrument or equipment temporarily out of the UK to work, perform or tour in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you will need to check the customs requirements for each country you are visiting. The changeovers are usually really fast (15-30min), and there's a lot more to be done besides waiting for you to move your gear.Temporarily taking musical instruments or equipment to the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein Don't be the a*****e who insist on setting up on the deck, because that will make everyone's job harder. Bigger festivals usually have risers on wheels, and backline is supposed to be set up on them, so carting them in and out will be a breeze. In a multi-band setup, if you bring your backline, make sure you can set it up and tear it down really, really fast. Organizers and PA companies will not have spare instrument cables, straps, picks or 9v batteries at your disposal. Do not expect a festival to supply backline, if there's no written agreement. Backline may be shared, rented or brought by the performer or the organizer. After it's mic'd, it gets into "sound re-inforcement" -territory. "Backline" is what the band uses to make their music be heard to, at least, themselves. ![]()
