UK Customs

The UK diverged from the EU customs regime and then kept moving. Different thresholds, a separate VAT treatment for low-value consignments, and its own approach to safety and security declarations mean a shipment routed for Rotterdam is not automatically fit for Felixstowe. Sellers who serve both markets from one China warehouse need two sets of paperwork logic, not one. This tag tracks HMRC guidance, threshold changes, declaration requirements, and the border processes that decide dwell time at UK ports. We flag the things that change your cost per parcel or your clearance risk, and skip the consultations that will not touch you for two years. If your UK numbers were modelled before the last round of changes, they are worth re-checking before you commit to a price.
