We at Warren Mills always use ADPs dedicated delivery service particularly when we need urgent and timed deliveries for our carpets. To the West coast of Scotland or the far corner of Cornwall they never let us down. And what nice people to deal with too!

Success stories from our customers

Shipping Between Great Britain
and Northern Ireland

Since Northern Ireland remains part of the EU customs territory, parcels sent between Great Britain and Northern Ireland may be subject to different rules compared to other EU countries. We’ll help you navigate these specific regulations and ensure compliance with all required documentation.

Shipping from the UK to EU Countries Post-Brexit

Since the UK left the EU, there are some additional considerations for shipping parcels to Europe. We ensure that your shipments comply with the new regulations to avoid delays and extra costs.

Key Changes You Need to Know:

Customs Declarations

All shipments to EU countries require a customs declaration, which may include a commercial invoice and other documentation.

VAT

New VAT rules mean that parcels may be subject to taxes upon arrival in certain EU countries.

Customs Duties

Duties may apply based on the value and nature of the goods being shipped.

Clearing Customs and Required Export Documents

When sending parcels to Europe, customs clearance is a critical step. We assist you in preparing all the necessary export documentation, including:

  • Customs Declaration: Required for all international shipments.
  • Commercial Invoice: A detailed document outlining the contents and value of your parcel.
  • EORI Number: If you’re sending goods for business purposes, you may need an EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification).

We take the complexity out of customs and documentation so you can focus on what matters.

The EORI Number

An EORI number is required if you’re sending goods for business purposes. It’s a unique identifier for businesses involved in customs activities and helps ensure smooth customs clearance. If you don’t have one, we can guide you on how to apply.

The Commercial Invoice

A commercial invoice is a key document used by customs to determine the value of goods and assess any applicable duties and taxes. We can advise you on how to prepare this document accurately to avoid delays.

Clearing Customs

We assist with the customs clearance process, ensuring all paperwork is in order. Our team ensures that any applicable duties or VAT are calculated correctly and your shipment proceeds smoothly through customs.

New EU VAT Rules

New VAT regulations came into effect post-Brexit for goods sent to EU countries. These rules can affect the cost of sending parcels internationally. We help you understand these changes and how they impact your shipment, including potential VAT liabilities and how to handle VAT registration.
