Practical advice
Commercial-quantity Toys (CE Marking) may be imported into United Kingdom through the standard commercial-import framework. Registered importers file the commercial entry via His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) with the applicable HS classification and the destination's electrical conformity certification (e.g. CE, UKCA, FCC, KC, PSE, CCC, BIS, SASO/SABER depending on destination). Personal-quantity carriage clears under the personal-effects allowance.
