VAT-free Imports From The Channel Islands
Many low-valued exports of goods from the Channel Islands to the United Kingdom were exempt from value added tax (VAT) until April 2012, due to the operation of an EU tax relief called Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR). LVCR was not limited to the Channel Islands, and continues to apply to all low-valued imports into the EU from other countries outside of the EU.

Famous quotes containing the words imports, channel and/or islands:
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I don’t want to die!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“What are the islands to me
if you are lost
what is Naxos, Tinos, Andros,
and Delos, the clasp
of the white necklace?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
