PACKING TIPS
How to prepare your parcel for delivery to the UK
If you could only do one thing to ensure your parcel will be delivered to the UK safe and sound, this thing would be to use correct packaging. To do that, we recommend using sturdy cardboard boxes as the outer packaging and following the steps below for preparing it:
- Choose a box that is slightly bigger than the item
- Wrap each item individually with bubble wrap
- Place everything in the box and fill the voids with cushioning materials
- Use tape to close and secure the box
International customs for parcels sent to the UK
If you send a parcel to the United Kingdom from another country, you need to fill in a commercial or proforma invoice, depending on whether the goods are for business or personal use. You may need to provide additional customs documentation for the local authorities when organising parcel delivery to the UK. We recommend checking the rules that apply to you on the government websites of both countries in advance.
