Taking present abroad - import duty risk?
It’s my wife’s birthday at the end of the month and I’m planning on buying her a watch in the UK. We will be in Spain when it’s her birthday, so I want to take it with me for her to open, but I’m a little worried about having to pay import duty on arrival or return.
This might be a silly question, but If I take the receipt with me from the UK, should that remove any concerns border control might have? An alternative is to remove the watch from the box but that might ruin the moment a little bit.
Any advice is much appreciated!
