FAQ

UK customer questions.

Post-Brexit, UK is treated as a separate customs territory from the EU. UK-specific HS codes, EORI registration, and customs entry are required. Our freight partner handles this seamlessly — most UK shipments clear customs in 24 hours. Primary change: your UK EORI number appears on commercial invoices. Document paperwork otherwise similar to pre-Brexit.
