Just take your ID and maybe a utility bill and explain to them that its a gift.

Plus maybe ask your nice uncle in Oz to email you his proof of purchase, print it out, then take that up to the Post Office, along with ID and Utility Bill?
Methinks that CyGov are after a slice of Import Tax here...

You made my night, Lloyd! Not bad for a grumpy old git, 70 in two days time, who last trod Paphos soil in 2008...
"Al's right"
Memories and experiences are good gifts to poccess, I believe. It's when we start forgetting these that we need to start worrying. It's why I read and constructivley contribute to PL on a daily basis, as it keeps the grey matter and memories active, LOL!
Specially when through all my PC replacements over many years, I've always managed to preserve my orderly Pictures library, since I started taking digital photos in late 2002.
I find Cryptic and Concise crosswords, as well as different versions of Sodoku, to be great gymnasiums of the mind, too. My first name is AL. Don't want middle name to become Ziemers...
Cheers- AL

If the item is worth over 1000 euros it gets a lot more complicated than that. Not really an issue unless you have a very generous relative!
And remember folks, once the UK leave the EU this will apply to UK post too...

Okay, I give up. What on earth are 'stubby holders' when they're at home, please?
