Customs / Import / Export (UK)
Quick operational overview for shipments to the United Kingdom. The UK is not part of the EU customs union; imports may require customs clearance and taxes.
Documents (typical)
- Commercial invoice (description, value, Incoterms)
- Packing list (weights, dimensions, packages)
- HS code / tariff classification
- Proof of origin / preference docs (where relevant)
- Transport documents (AWB / Bill of Lading) depending on mode
Process (simplified)
- Prepare export (clean docs & data)
- Import clearance in the UK (broker/agent, possible checks)
- Release and delivery; duties/taxes based on classification and value
Common pitfalls
- Assuming “EU like before” → underestimating clearance/taxes
- Incoterms unclear (who clears/pays?)
- Inconsistent values/documents → queries/holds
Important: Requirements depend on goods, origin, Incoterms, value, and consignee. When in doubt, confirm with your broker/forwarder and official sources.
