Quick answer
- UK is outside EU customs union — separate HMRC declarations required
- DDP includes UK duty, VAT, and clearance
- Road ~25d · Rail ~35d · Sea ~50d to UK postcodes
Since Brexit, the UK operates its own customs regime separate from the EU. TY Freight manages HMRC import clearance under DDP so UK buyers receive goods without handling customs themselves.
GB EORI & HMRC
Commercial UK imports need proper customs entry. Under DDP we handle this. See GB EORI guide.
UK vs EU Shipments
You cannot clear EU and UK in one shipment post-Brexit — route separately to each market.
