Exporting goods to the UK in luggage or a small car does not exempt you from VAT or customs clearance.<\/strong>
In the case of commercial goods no duty free limit applies<\/strong> - each entry must be notified.<\/p>\n

Above \u00a32,500<\/strong>, 1,000 kg<\/strong> or, in the case of regulated goods, required full customs declaration<\/strong>.
At lower values, simplifications are possible, but not in every sales model and not in every import structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Example from practice:<\/strong> VAT adjustment after a few months because the entry was treated as logistics and not as a formal import.<\/p>\n

Are you bringing goods into the UK yourself?<\/strong>
Let's do 15-minute model-check<\/strong> - a quick overview of the process to check that VAT and customs are set correctly.<\/p>\n
