IT hardware transport to the United Kingdom
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is a third country. IT hardware – new or used – is exported and imported, and every consignment crosses the Channel. Documents must be ready before arrival at the border.
What matters
- Customs in both directions
- Returns from the UK to the EU also need export and import declarations.
- The Channel
- Ferry or Channel Tunnel shuttle are always part of the route.
- Used devices
- Additional evidence may be required for used electronics – your customs agent clarifies this.
- Batteries
- Battery rules apply per mode of transport, including the crossing.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
