UK Customs and VAT
Since Brexit, all imports to the UK are subject to 20% VAT. There is no longer a low-value exemption. For goods valued over GBP 135, customs duty may also apply. DHL and FedEx offer pre-paid VAT services, which speeds up delivery by avoiding customs holds.
Pro Tip: Choose FedEx or DHL with pre-paid VAT for the fastest UK delivery experience. This avoids delays at customs.
