Practical advice

Personal-use Textiles (Commercial) may be brought into United Kingdom freely under the personal-effects allowance. Commercial-quantity carriage requires the standard commercial-import declaration with HS classification (typically HS Chapters 50-63 for textiles) and any applicable safeguard duties.
