Sit and wait is all you can do. Here at work we import/export a lot of equipment and some things have been sat in customs for two weeks.

Customs have the same space/employee restrictions as other businesses so maybe there are less staff in the office to work on the back log. Usually its getting the stuff on a plane thats the issue. I had stuff sit in Frankfurt for months waiting for a ride to Aus as we have very few planes coming here. Covid has also meant more online sales which equals more post. Just gotta bear with it and hope its not ploughed into land fill instead if being delivered.

If you are sending stuff out of the UK it needs an export declaration. DHL and the like should do this for you however the person / company you are sending it to also needs to be able to import it. They may choose to pay the vat and re-claim it when they export it back to you / or import it temporarily all these things will have a cost implication. When it comes back you need to import it or prove that it is British-returned goods after warranty repair.
You have to be careful what you are doing otherwise you just end up having pay out VAT and other unwanted charges.
It is a minefield. I have always had to deal with Customs formalities but since Brexit it has been full on. Every job I do now takes at least an extra 30 mins just in admin.

I followed Borats instructions for the customs declaration it was sent for repair and valued less than €30 so hopefully that helps
