How to send a parcel to London after Brexit?

On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom officially left the European Union, becoming a non-EU country for all intents and purposes.

Almost a year later, 1 January 2021 marks the end of the transition period of the Brexit deals. As a result, the exchange of goods between EU countries and the UK is now subject to new regulations.

Indeed, as of 2021, new customs procedures have come into force for trade between the EU and the UK. For this reason, you will have to attach new customs documents to your shipments to London.

Furthermore, as Italy and the UK are now in two different economic zones, the recipient may have to pay customs duties. By visiting the customs duties of SpedizioneComoda.co.uk, you can get more information on this topic.

Customs documents required for your shipments to London

As mentioned above, to send a parcel to London, in addition to simple shipping labels, some customs documents will be required.

Specifically, you will need to prepare three copies (one to be attached to the parcel and two to be handed to the courier upon collection) of the following documents:

shipping labels/waybill (AWB - air way bill, in English);
pro forma invoice or commercial invoice;
free export declaration;
identity document and tax code of the sender.

Customs agents will use these documents to recognise and verify the goods in your shipment. To access all the information you need to prepare and compile the documents, you can consult the customs documents for extra-EU shipments.
