Shipping Tip: United Kingdom Import Duties*
Most goods imported are subject to Ad Valorem Duty and Value Added Tax. Rates of duty vary and are based on the commodity type and country of origin. Duty is based on the cost of insurance and freight value.
The Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) under which VAT is waived on imports will be reduced to 15UKL, effective November 1, 2011.
This means that items valued greater than 15.00UKL will incur VAT at the relevant rate (up to 20%) when imported from non-EU countries into the UK. The value used for this purpose is the intrinsic value of the goods.
| Import of Negligible Value | Application |
| Up to 15UKL | Exempt from duty and VAT |
| Over 15UKL and up to 135 UKL | Exempt from duty. VAT is due |
| Over 135UKL | Duty and VAT due |
