We are just about to ship things to Malta and I have some new things for my sue such as a mattress and a fan. Will I have to pay tax or any sort of import duty?

Short answer is no........................ as you are bringing in personal items for use from EU to EU.

We shipped all our furniture across and it took about 3 weeks with no breakages, the container passed through customs without any problems.

The exceptions are things like
1. vehicles
2. if items bought VAT free for export
then duty is payable
