An import declaration is a required document that tells UK customs exactly what goods you're bringing into the country — what it is, where it’s from, what it’s worth, and how it should be classified and taxed.
It’s more than just a form. It’s a legal requirement that ensures your shipment is:
✔ Correctly classified
✔ Properly taxed (duties & VAT)
✔ Cleared and released without delays
Get it wrong and you risk:
❌ Fines or penalties
❌ Delays at the border
❌ Seizure or return of goods
