SHIPPING PERSONAL EFFECTS

Before you ship luggage to UK, some matters need to be taken care of.

Customs Clearance of Personal Effects in the UK

  • To qualify for clearance as used personal effects, shipments must be brought into the UK within 12 months of the consignee’s arrival in the country.

Temporary imports and UK residents returning to the country

  • Shipments of used personal effects that are being returned to the UK after being outside of the country for less than 12 months, such as for a holiday, and shipments for non-UK residents who will be in the UK for less than 12 months for reasons other than study before exporting again, are typically eligible for duty and tax-free entry depends on customs.
  •  A brief statement confirming the reason for import can be provided online through your Get My Parcel account after placing an order.
  •  Customs retains the discretion to grant duty relief and may request additional information to verify the purpose of import if it is unclear.

Regarding individuals relocating to the UK and permanent imports

  • If the shipment is intended for permanent entry into the UK for purposes other than study, or if it is being imported by a UK resident returning after being outside the country for 12 months or more, an application for a “Transfer of Residence Relief” (ToR) code must be submitted to UK customs (HMRC) using the ToR01 form. 
  • This code is necessary to obtain duty relief during the entry of the shipment.
  • To streamline the process of completing the ToR01 form, it is advisable to click on the preview option and save it as a PDF. Subsequently, the form, along with the necessary accompanying documents (which will be specified on the HMRC website based on your specific circumstances), can be emailed to nch.tor@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk, instead of sending it by post.
  • If the consignee already has a ToR code, it can be provided to Get My Parcel through your account after placing an order.
  • If you have not provided a ToR (Transfer of Residence) code at the time of collection, the recipient will be responsible for paying duties, taxes, and any additional courier fees. These charges will be billed by our courier partner either before delivery or upon delivery, depending on the total value of the charge. 
  • To claim a rebate for any paid duties and taxes, you will need to complete a C285 form on the HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) website. However, you must contact Getmy Parcel to obtain the necessary information and documents required for completing the C285 form. 
  • If your application is approved, HMRC will refund the paid duties and taxes, excluding an £11-12 administrative fee for tax collection and any multiline charges applied by the courier.
  • When the packing list includes more than five different types of items (commodities), the courier may apply multiline charges. For example, if the packing list includes clothes and books, which are considered two different types of commodities, and the total exceeds five, multiline fees will be imposed, multiline fees are applied at a rate of £4.50 per each additional commodity.

Shipping to the UK for Studies

To qualify for duty and tax-free entry when shipping to the UK for study purposes, the consignee must provide a copy of their enrollment or placement letter from their College or University. This letter should indicate the start and end dates of the course, the course name, and the address of the University or College. Please note that HMRC does not accept offer letters or letters from UCAS/CAS for duty-free clearance.

Sending Gifts 

  • For any imports into the UK valued above £25, duty/VAT will be applicable. VAT will be calculated at 20% based on the declared value of the shipment. Additionally, there may be customs charges, which are determined by the customs inspectors’ evaluation of the goods. 
  • The assessment of these charges is at the discretion of the customs inspectors and may vary, resulting in charges or exemptions depending on their evaluation of the goods.

Commercial Shipments 

  • For any imports into the UK valued above £25, duty/VAT will be applicable. VAT will be calculated at 20% based on the declared value of the shipment. Additionally, there may be customs charges, which are determined by the customs inspectors’ evaluation of the goods.
