Customs and VAT for the UK
Since leaving the EU, the UK applies import VAT (generally 20%) on most goods above a low value threshold, and duty may apply on higher-value or commercial items. There is a small allowance for genuine gifts. An accurate invoice helps clearance, and meat, dairy and some plant products are restricted — ask us before sending food.
