Sending gifts and parcels from UK to Europe after Brexit: VAT and duties
As United Kingdom leaves the EU customs territory, new rules apply regarding import/export fees when shipping to Europe after Brexit. When shipping gifts, non-commercial packages or envelopes between UK and EU, VAT and duties may apply as follows:
VAT on gifts sent from UK to Europe
Gifts sent to Europe are exempt of VAT as long as:
- they are not worth more than 45€;
- they are sent occasionally from one individual to another;
- they are for personal use/consumption only.
Duties on parcels sent from UK to Europe
Non-commercial parcels sent from UK to Europe must pay duties if:
- their value exceeds 150€;
- the package contains excise goods such as alcohol or tobacco (see exceptions under FAQ).
Shipments marked as documents are not subject to customs duties or VAT. However, only paper documents, personal Ids and other non-commercial papers can be sent under this exception.

FAQ when sending parcels to Europe after Brexit
Do I have to pay extra to send a parcel to the EU after Brexit?
If you have been arranging the shipping through our platform using the Standard shipping option, after December 31st 2020, you have to start using our global shipping options when sending parcels to the EU from the UK after Brexit or our personalised freight services for cargo shipments. The prices for international shipping options are usually higher than for the standard service, but the delivery time is much faster.
How does parcel shipping from the UK to the EU work after Brexit?
There will be significant changes after the transition period is over, making the impact of Brexit on shipping greater. Some courier companies will no longer be able to offer cheap parcel shipping post Brexit as the UK is now considered a third country, meaning couriers will be offering global shipping services.
Will UPS, DHL, FedEx or other logistics companies impose surcharges?
DHL may impose some additional minimal surcharges as a result of customs handling after the Brexit transition is over.
How will Brexit affect courier companies?
The Brexit impact on shipping may be seen with the delivery time and the higher shipping prices. Most of the courier companies sending parcels to and from Europe will continue even after Brexit transition is over. The process may seem a bit more complicated with customs clearance needed, and this is why companies needing logistics services should turn to Eurosender. Our logistics experts know how to handle such situations and provide a solution when shipping internationally.
How will Brexit affect the shipping industry?
Brexit should not impact the shipping industry significantly in the UK. Companies will have to comply with the regulations imposed by the EU, but due to its global nature, a negative impact is not expected. The companies must follow the EU shipping requirements, and Eurosender is the right choice for your transportation needs. Apart from organising the transport to any location, our team of logistics experts will advise you on the customs procedures when sending parcels from the EU after Brexit.
