UDS offers each of these methods for your benefit. You can consider each of the options and their cost factors to make a final decision. If you feel overwhelmed, the team at UDS will help and guide you to make the right choices regarding your cargo shipping to the UK.

UK Custom Information You Need to Know

Gaining information about the customs of a country is essential before you ship packages there. The customs in the UK are quite strict and hence you need to be aware of the packaging and contents of your parcel. If your package and label your parcel correctly, then you can ensure a smooth journey of the postage from Canada to the UK. It will not be stopped during the customs clearance process and hence you will receive your items within time.

Documentation

The vital documents you need to attach with your US to the UK parcel include; 

  • Packing list
  • Customs declaration form
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Letter of Credit
  • Bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin

If you are sending any hazardous item, then a special permit is required for the shipping

Gifts

People often send gifts to their loved ones from across the world. If you are shipping gifts to the UK from Canada, there are certain things you need to consider. Firstly, the value of the gift is extremely important. If the gift had worth £39 or less, then your shipment will be exempted from taxes and duties. However, to enjoy the exemption, you need to prove that the shipment contains gift items and not personal belongings. 

  • You need to include terms such as Unsolicited Gifts or Gift Shipment on your commercial invoice.
  • Provide a detailed description of the contents of the package and do not miss out on anything
  • Be honest and declare the true value of the gift on the commercial invoice
  • Ensure that you send the package to a residential address in the UK and not any business
VAT and other charges

You might need to pay VAT or excise duty on your shipment as it will arrive from outside the EU. If such a situation occurs, UDS will contact the recipient of the goods and hence ensure that you provide the right contact details. They will inform the receiver about the method of payment as well. However, keep in mind that the customs clearance will keep the shipment for three weeks, until which you need to pay the charges. Otherwise, they will send the package back to Canada. 

You may need to pay customs duty on certain items, including gifts if their worth is more than a specific value. 

  • If any item, including worth, has a worth under £135, then no charge is applicable.
  • If the gift item is worth £135 to £630, then a 2.5% customs duty is applicable
  • If the worth of the gift is more than £630 and the worth of any other item is more than £135, then you need to pay customs duty depending upon their type and country of export.

You need to be aware of the HS or tariff code as it will help you to calculate the exact payable rate. The amount for VAT charges depends upon the total value of your shipment, including import duty. 

Prohibited Items to Ship in the UK From Canada

While shipping parcels from Canada to the UK, you need to consider the list of prohibited items along with customs. People often focus on getting information about customs duty and ignore prohibited and restricted items. There are certain restrictions on different imported goods that are being sent to the UK from Canada. Mainly, the items include tobacco, alcohol, and harmful items. However, regular items can also be included in the list, and hence you should check it once before packing your parcel.

  • Cigarillos
  • Spirits that exceed 22% ABV
  • Tobacco
  • Sparkling wine and drinks that have a 22% ABV

However, you can ship alcohol and tobacco up to a specific quantity if you pay excise duty on their import to the UK. 

Except for tobacco and alcohol, other items are banned from shipping to the UK as well. They include; 

  • Meat and dairy products for personal consumption

  • Pirated media
  • Endangered animals and plants
  • Controlled drugs
  • Self-defence sprays, such as CS gas and pepper spray

If you bring any of the above items, they will be seized by customs. You need to be aware of the restrictions of UDS as well, to ensure you are not shipping any prohibited materials. 

Firearms and explosives are also prohibited within the UK and you cannot ship them with regular items. If you want to include them in your postage to Canada from the UK, you will need a special licence.
