If I buy something from the UK and pay import VAT.

But then I send it back, I presume I can reclaim the VAT.

Is it a simple process?

An Post don't provide this service.


I want to return a non-EU item to sender. How do I do this?

Returns can be sent using Click & Post or at your local Post Office. The Customs related electronic data and labelling (where required) should indicate that the item is a return. We recommend you retain your receipt of posting. Please note, An Post do not process any refunds of VAT or Customs Charges if you are returning goods after the item has been delivered.
