Customs Information when Shipping to the UK

When shipping personal effects or gifts from an international destination to the UK, it’s essential to complete a customs form with your shipment. My Baggage makes this process easier by automatically generating the necessary customs documentation for you to complete. Below is important Customs Information when shipping to the UK. While we aim to offer general guidance, regulations may change and can vary based on your shipment. For the most up-to-date information, we recommend conducting your own research into the specific shipping requirements for the UK.

Important Customs Information

Below is important information related to Customs Requirements for the United Kingdom.


International Shipments to the UK

When sending international shipments to the UK, a completed customs form is essential. All shipments will go through British Customs, known as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). At My Baggage, we facilitate this process by generating the necessary customs forms for you to complete based on the details you provide during your order. Once your payment is processed, you can easily access and complete your customs forms in the ‘My Orders’ section of our website.


Domestic Shipments within the UK

For shipments within the UK, no customs forms or checks are necessary. This includes all areas across the UK Islands and Highlands, the UK Mainland (England, Scotland, and Wales), as well as Northern Ireland*.


EU (European Union) Shipments to/from Northern Ireland

EU shipments to and from Northern Ireland do not need customs forms or checks, just like domestic UK shipments. Although Northern Ireland is part of the UK and outside the EU, special arrangements between the UK and EU (the Windsor Framework Agreement)* allow it to remain within the EU Customs and VAT zone. This means shipments between Northern Ireland and EU countries can be sent without customs checks.


*Please note that while this information is accurate now, it may change in the future.

Each shipment to the UK is treated individually and will be inspected by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Clearance times can differ based on a number of factors. Provided that your customs documentation is filled out correctly and submitted, your shipment with My Baggage should clear customs smoothly and arrive on the expected delivery date.

When shipping personal effects to the UK, it’s important to provide additional documentation alongside the customs forms generated by My Baggage.

You will likely need to include a copy of your passport’s image page. Depending on the purpose of your shipment, further documentation may be required. For instance, if you are permanently relocating to the UK after living abroad for more than a year, you may need to provide a Transfer of Residence (ToR) code. If you are a student, you should include all relevant enrolment and course information. To ensure you have all necessary documents ready for your specific circumstances, it’s suggested to consult the latest UK customs regulations. Please note that HMRC may also request additional information to assist with your shipment’s clearance.

To avoid any complications, ensure that all documentation is in the name of the receiver, who should also be the owner of the shipment. If any documents are in the sender’s name and do not match the receiver’s, there is a risk that customs may reject the shipment.

For shipments to the UK, it is essential that you declare the value of your items on your customs forms. To demonstrate to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) that your shipment consists of personal effects, you must provide a detailed description of each item.

For example, you might write:

4 x Used black men’s cotton t-shirts
1 x Pair of used brown leather shoes (size 8)
2 x Pairs of used dark blue denim jeans (size small)
When sending shipments to the UK, it’s important to understand that customs fees and duties might be applicable. These fees can vary based on several factors, including the declared value on your customs forms and the nature of the items being shipped. HMRC may also impose a processing fee depending on your shipment’s specifics. In such instances, our courier partner will provide you with a clear breakdown of any fees incurred, to which payment can be settled easily online or via telephone.

For items shipped as used personal effects, you may benefit from duty-free entry, provided they arrive within 12 months of the recipient's arrival in the UK. However, if you are sending goods back to the UK or importing items for non-residents staying for less than a year, it is crucial to declare them accurately.

While we offer general advice on customs procedures in the UK, we highly recommend that you take the time to understand the potential customs duties that may apply. Following guidance from customs will help prevent any unexpected charges and facilitate a smooth clearance process, ensuring your shipment arrives promptly without any issues.

When sending shipments to the UK, My Baggage serves all regions as outlined in the three shipping zones below:

  • UK (Northern Ireland)
  • UK (Mainland) – England, Scotland, and Wales
  • UK (Highlands & Islands) – such as the Isle of Man and Scottish Highlands

For deliveries to the UK Highlands and Islands, we advise adding an extra 3–4 days to your delivery estimate, as these areas are considered remote. Additional surcharges may apply for addresses that are classified as extremely remote by the courier, based on postcode, and any applicable charges will be displayed during the booking process.

The Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) are not included in the UK customs union and My Baggage currently does not provide shipping services to the Channel Islands.

We intend to deliver your items to their destination in the UK within the advised delivery estimate. However, please be advised that occasionally delays can occur when going through customs clearance or due to other unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, we do not recommend sending time-sensitive items.

Preparing your Shipment to the UK from the USA

When shipping personal belongings or gifts to the United Kingdom from the USA it's essential to carefully review this information. Make sure your shipment doesn't contain any Prohibited Items. Certain items are classified as Non-Compensation Items, which can be sent but are done so at your own risk. You must also securely Package your items for their trip from America to the UK.
