Import leków z UK do Polski: zezwolenie GIF, QP i GMP
Hurtownia z Midlands proponuje korzystną partię leków, a polski dystrybutor chce ją sprowadzić jeszcze w tym kwartale. Na papierze to zwykła dostawa B2B. W praktyce import leków z UK do Polski jest jednym z najbardziej regulowanych przepływów towarowych po Brexicie: od 1 stycznia 2021 r. Wielka Brytania jest dla Unii krajem trzecim, a produkt leczniczy […]
Returned Goods Relief UK: Re-Import Goods Without Paying Duty Twice
A pallet you shipped to Germany comes back unsold. Machinery you lent to a partner in Poland returns after a project. In both cases the goods started life in the UK — yet when they cross the border back into Great Britain they are, legally, an import. Without the right claim, duty and import VAT […]
C285: How to Reclaim Overpaid Customs Duty in the UK
You find out weeks later that a shipment was declared under the wrong commodity code, or with a value that included costs it should not have. The duty is paid, the goods are sold — is the money gone? Not necessarily. Form C285 and its online equivalent in the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) are HMRC’s […]
Duty Deferment Account in the UK: How to Set One Up
Every consignment you import into Great Britain can trigger a payment before the goods are released: Customs Duty, import VAT, sometimes excise. Pay them one shipment at a time and your cash is tied up at the border every week. A duty deferment account in the UK changes that rhythm — HMRC collects everything you […]
Commercial Samples to the UK: Customs Treatment
A buyer in Manchester asks to see the product before placing an order. You post a box of swatches, a cut shoe upper or a few labelled bottles of sauce — and the parcel is held for duty and VAT. It does not have to be that way. Commercial samples to the UK can enter […]
Tariff Rate Quotas in the UK: How to Claim Them
Two importers bring in the same product, under the same commodity code, in the same month. One pays the full rate of duty, the other pays a reduced rate. The difference is not a secret discount: it is a tariff rate quota, and the second importer simply claimed it on the declaration. This guide explains […]
Plastic Packaging Tax: A Guide for UK Importers (2026)
A pallet of shampoo from Poland, a container of empty PET bottles from Turkey and a shipment of garden furniture wrapped in plastic film all have one thing in common once they reach a UK port: the plastic around them may fall under Plastic Packaging Tax. Many UK importers still treat PPT as a manufacturer’s […]
Import Plastics to the UK: UK REACH Rules for Polymers and Articles
A container of polypropylene granules and a container of finished plastic crates can carry the same supplier invoice, cross the same port and land in the same warehouse. Under chemicals law they are different things. Anyone planning to import plastics to the UK needs to know which of the two they are bringing in, because […]
Amazon FBA UK Customs: Import VAT and Duty for Overseas Sellers
Most cross-border e-commerce problems begin when a customer clicks “buy”. Fulfilment by Amazon inverts that order: your stock clears the border weeks before anyone orders it. That single fact is why Amazon FBA UK customs obligations look nothing like those that apply to a parcel posted from Poznan to a buyer in Leeds — and […]
Import stali z UK: kontyngenty i cła antydumpingowe w 2026
Kupujesz belki, blachę albo rury u brytyjskiego dostawcy i w ofercie widzisz zdanie: „od lipca obowiązuje nowy limit, powyżej niego 50% cła”. Brzmi groźnie — ale w większości przypadków nie dotyczy Twojej przesyłki. Import stali z UK do Polski rozliczasz według przepisów unijnych, a głośny brytyjski środek z 1 lipca 2026 roku działa w przeciwnym […]
