Export business to UK is one the most important trade for Thailand. During last 20 years, export shipments to UK has grown more than 35%.

There are 2  main reasons which explain this development:

• Low cost of sea freight. Shipping lines offer regular services to main port in UK. They provide weekly consolidation with very attractive prices (around 10 USD / CBM)

• Airlines carriers provide daily departures to any airports in UK. Airlines can provide consolidation because of

• Contrary on many European countries, customs formalities are simple. UK customs doesn’t required many documents or certificates about the goods or the origin. UK custom process is simple and fast.

Also, 15 years ago, UK has created a plan to modernize every port and airport infrastructures. Today, UK equipments are modern and efficient. The consequences are:

• import local charges in UK are cheaper than other countries in EU (unloading, labor, manutention, storage fees…)

• unloading of containers in UK is faster than any other countries in EU.

There are no import restrictions. Every products can be import to UK. Eventually, some of them require some certificate or export license such as:

• foods and beverages

• chemical products

• hazardous products

Also, UK doesn’t have a strict legislation about importers. Everybody can import products. If you low weight and volume shipments, you don’t need company registration. If importers have regular shipments, they just need to register a company. They don’t need to be registered on customs system.

Regarding duties and taxes, their amount depend on commodities and values. But UK custom regulation about duties and taxes is one of the lowest in EU for general goods (garments, handicrafts, furnitures, ceramics).

For personal effetcs shipments, UK customs regulations is not strict too. Customs authorities doesn’t require special documents or certificates. You can clear your personal belongings easily.
