Often not on used belongings — but it depends on the destination.
It depends on where you’re shipping to and what you’re sending. For a genuine move, your used personal belongings frequently qualify for relief from import duty under the destination’s Transfer-of-Residence-style rules. New items, gifts above a threshold, or commercial goods are more likely to attract duty and local taxes.
Duty and any local tax are charged by the destination country, not by us, and the rules and thresholds vary from country to country. We’ll tell you what typically applies on your route and prepare the UK export paperwork and valued inventory that supports any relief you’re entitled to. Any duty is paid to the destination’s customs by the importer.
