Sending items abroad

When sending goods abroad, customers will need to complete and attach a customs declaration (CN22 or CN23), available from the Post Office or Royal Mails Click&Drop. This does not apply to customers sending items from Northern Ireland to the EU. Letters, postcards and documents are usually exempt.

The recipient may then have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee in the receiving country before they can claim the parcel. These charges will depend on the country they are sending to, the value of the item and whether it is a gift or commercial goods.

See guidance from the European Commission around VAT thresholds

You can find out more about customs and sending items abroad for businesses and non-businesses.

The UK government has also issued a notice for international postal users on gov.uk search for "notice 143: a guide for international post users".
