Buying from abroad

In this section you'll find information about the charges you might have to pay if you buy goods from outside of the UK. Since Brexit, this includes goods bought from countries in the EU (unless you're in Northern Ireland).

These charges can include VAT, Customs Duty or Excise Duty.

There is different guidance depending on whether you are ordering goods from abroad (to be delivered to you in the UK) or bringing goods with you personally when returning to the UK.
