Full Details
Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Fresh Fruit sent to United Kingdom typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.
Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
Items sent by post valued over £135 require a customs declaration. Royal Mail and courier services handle customs clearance for postal imports. Certain items are prohibited from being sent internationally via post (batteries alone, aerosols, etc.).
