Understanding UK Customs and Post-Brexit Import Rules

Since Brexit took effect in January 2021, the United Kingdom operates its own customs regime separate from the European Union. The key threshold to know is £135 — goods valued above this amount are subject to import VAT at 20%, and customs duties may also apply depending on the product category. Unlike many countries, the UK requires customs declarations for all goods regardless of value. VIO Shipping handles all customs paperwork and helps ensure your shipment clears HMRC smoothly.

For food products, cosmetics, and electronics, additional UK safety and labeling regulations may apply. Our team is experienced in preparing the correct documentation for Vietnamese products entering the UK market, so you can ship with confidence.

Our customers most commonly ship Vietnamese coffee (ca phe), dried food and snacks, cosmetics and skincare products, clothing, gifts and souvenirs, electronics, and important documents.
