"Duty & Tax Invoice" on a return from USA repaired item

Evening,
We went to USA a couple years ago and bought a pair of earrings. A couple weeks ago they broke a bit, and we sent them back for repair. We have just had a "Duty & Tax Invoice" from Fedex for £30.
Since it wasn't a purchase but a repair, I assumed we wouldn't have been charged (oops). Is there a way we can pay and then claim back from HMRC? Had a look at their site, but seems a bit complicated...
As it was from a few years ago, we no longer have receipts, proof of VAT already paid, etc.
Thanks!

A lot will depend on your paperwork. When you sent them to the US, you would presumably have done a commercial invoice stating it was parts going for repair and not a permanent export? If so, you can show Fedex that it was a repair and provide the shipping details and they can then remove the duty.0
