Pay Any Duty Taxes

Most goods and items imported from the USA into the United Kingdom will be subject to full customs charge. Customs duty is also known as import duty, customs tariff, import tax, or import tariff and is a charge commonly levied by the specific country’s customs authority on select exports.

Anti-dumping procedures may apply to some categories of products and are therefore the subject of extra tariffs from authorities, so make sure to double-check this with your freight forwarder. We would recommend, if you are unsure about the duties and taxes required for payment that you contact us.
