The threshold for customs duty is £135 - below this, no duty is charged but VAT still applies. For gifts, the threshold is £39. VAT is calculated on the goods value plus shipping costs.
Can I send food to UK from India after Brexit?

Meat, dairy, and potato products from India are prohibited or heavily restricted. All food needs proper labeling with ingredients. Homemade food is not recommended as it will likely be confiscated.

For goods over £135 value, you pay customs duty (0-20% depending on item type) plus 20% VAT on the total (goods + shipping + duty). For goods under £135, only VAT applies. Gifts under £39 may be exempt from VAT. These charges are paid by the receiver to the courier company upon delivery.
Have more questions about shipping to UNITED KINGDOM?
Check when your parcel will reach UNITED KINGDOM based on your dispatch date
Dates are estimates and may vary due to customs processing, weather, or holidays. Actual delivery times depend on carrier performance.
Calculate the volumetric weight of your shipment to UNITED KINGDOM to understand your chargeable weight.
How Volumetric Weight Works
Formula: (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)
Courier companies charge based on actual weight OR volumetric weight, whichever is higher. This is called the "chargeable weight" or "billable weight."
Example: A box measuring 50×40×30 cm has volumetric weight of 12 kg. If the actual weight is 5 kg, you'll be charged for 12 kg.
Tips to Reduce Volumetric Weight
- Use the smallest box that fits your items snugly
- Avoid excessive void fill and padding
- Consider vacuum-sealing soft items like clothing
- Disassemble items when possible to reduce dimensions
Extra Charges Apply If:
- Any single parcel weighs more than 25 KG
- Any one side of the parcel exceeds 100 CM
