Since Brexit, sending goods from the UK to countries within the European Union involves more than simply packing a parcel and arranging collection. Whether you're a business sending regular shipments or an individual sending goods overseas, it's important to understand the customs requirements before your goods leave the UK.
Goods travelling from the UK into the EU generally need a customs declaration. The information required can include details about the sender and recipient, the contents of the shipment, its value and the reason for sending it.
Getting the paperwork right is important. Incorrect or missing information can cause delays at customs.
Different goods can have different requirements. Certain products may require additional documentation, licences or certificates, while some items may be restricted or prohibited from entering particular countries.
It's worth checking the requirements for the specific EU country you're sending to before arranging your shipment.
Depending on the goods, their value and the circumstances of the shipment, the recipient may need to pay import VAT, customs duties or other charges when the goods arrive. These costs should be considered before sending, particularly when shipping goods to customers.
International shipping can be complicated, particularly if you're unfamiliar with customs procedures. Using an experienced UK and Europe courier can make the process much easier and help ensure the necessary information is provided.
