Before you ship
The rules depend on the goods, their origin and their destination. Give us the details before collection so we can identify missing documents or route restrictions.
These lists are a starting point, not customs approval. A common item can still be restricted by a destination authority, airline, ocean carrier or import licence requirement.
These goods are frequently prohibited or tightly controlled. We may refuse them even where a permit exists.

For goods, describe the transaction and each item clearly:
The confirmed shipment record should match the cargo handed over:
Duty and tax depend on the destination, commodity code, country of origin, declared value and the authority's decision. We do not present a generic percentage as a reliable landed cost.
The destination authority makes the final decision. For a binding classification or complex import, obtain advice from a qualified customs broker.
