I ordered a part from Ireland before Brexit went ahead.
The part was faulty so the supplier agreed to send me another one at no cost.
The replacement must have arrived after the split because now fedex are trying to invoice me £87 for something.

What do I do ?
I never would have ordered the part if there were import charges to pay (there wasn't originally)

I'd have thought if you have evidence this is a 'repair or replacement' for something faulty you shouldn't have to pay?
Im sure (before brexit anyway) that if you were retuning something to be fixed there would be no vat/import charges as you've already paid.

But to be honest I'm not sure how the law works and how difficult this would be to prove.
 
I doubt you have to pay tax on the part if it's replacement but the fees FedEx add you will...
It's probably mostly handling fees.

Complete bs.

Gonna have to get used to it.

I buy a lot of stuff from the UK still and I'm struggling to find shops that ship to Sweden now cos it's just too much bs for them.
+ Swedish tax ontop. Nonsense paying vat twice.... I wouldn't mind if I could buy vat free from UK stores.

Anyway not related to you

Pay it or don't it, end of the day it will take ages to resolve. Move on, as said before.

Will be a year or 2 before things get standard

If it was a replacement for a faulty item you may be able to either get the charges waved, or claim them back if you can provide paperwork for it being an under warranty replacement.
 
Dont accept the part in this case if possible. The taxes should be paid before sending or it can get silly quickly from excess charges just to examine and tax retrospectively. I was charged over 100% taxes for a used item from that method of taxing the postage itself seemed to be how it works
