UK to End Customs Duty Exemption for Low-Value Imports, Aligning with EU Changes

The UK will end its customs duty exemption for low-value imports, aligning with the EU.
Currently, goods valued at GBP135 or less are exempt from customs duty.
The exemption is proposed to be repealed by March 2029 at the latest, as part of the 2025 Autumn Budget.
The government is consulting on the new arrangements, including data collection, tariff application, possible administrative fees, and VAT changes.
Feedback on the proposals is invited by March 6, 2026.
