Shipping to the United Kingdom

Post-Brexit UK import rules have changed significantly. Goods entering the UK now face different customs procedures than when the UK was part of the EU. This Joyagoo Shipping UK guide explains the current requirements and best practices.

The UK allows duty-free imports up to 135 GBP. For goods between 135 GBP and 630 GBP, a simplified customs process applies. Over 630 GBP, full customs declarations are required. Most Joyagoo orders fall well below these thresholds.

  • Use simplified customs declarations for orders under 135 GBP
  • Royal Mail handles most low-value parcels efficiently
  • VAT is applied at 20% on all imports
  • Track parcels through Royal Mail or courier websites

Post-Brexit Customs

Since Brexit, all imports to the UK require customs declarations. Most shipping lines handle this automatically, but you should be aware that VAT at 20% applies to all imports regardless of value.

If your shipping line does not pre-pay VAT, you may receive a notice from Royal Mail or the courier requesting payment before delivery. This usually includes a small handling fee of 8-12 GBP.
