Sending gifts and parcels from the UK to Europe after Brexit: VAT and duties
As the United Kingdom leaves the EU customs territory, new rules apply regarding import/export fees when shipping to Europe after Brexit. When shipping gifts, non-commercial packages or envelopes between UK and EU, VAT and duties may apply as follows:
VAT on gifts sent from UK to Europe
Gifts sent to Europe are exempt of VAT as long as:
- they are not worth more than €45;
- they are sent occasionally from one individual to another;
- they are for personal use/consumption only.
Duties on parcels sent from the UK to Europe
Non-commercial parcels sent from the UK to Europe must pay duties if:
- their value exceeds €150;
- the package contains excise goods such as alcohol or tobacco (see exceptions under FAQ).
All commercial goods will be subject to VAT from the 1st of July.
Shipments marked as documents are not subject to customs duties or VAT. However, only paper documents, personal Ids and other non-commercial papers can be sent under this exception.
