Relevant to: UK retailers and wholesalers sending fresh ginger or turmeric roots from Great Britain to EU customers, including stock grown in another country and re-exported through Britain.
Check before sending affected goods
Confirm the production origin, the applicable pest-free or production-site route, and the additional declaration with your plant-health authority and EU importer before dispatch. Check that the certificate and evidence can be obtained; a carrier label alone is not sufficient.
Relevant to: UK retailers supplying covered clothing, accessories, footwear, food-contact paper/cardboard, consumer mixtures or cosmetics to the EU.
Check before sending affected goods
Ask suppliers for evidence against REACH Annex XVII entry 79. Check the affected materials and any exception before EU supply; do not assume UK-held stock qualifies for the existing-stock transition.
Relevant to: UK retailers sending online orders for clearance through Dubai Customs under its cross-border ecommerce arrangements, and their customs representatives.
Check before sending affected goods
Ask your carrier or importer whether your shipments qualify under Notices 15/2021 and 16/2026. Confirm registration, the clearance route, CIF customs value and product exclusions before changing landed-cost calculations or checkout charges.
Relevant to: UK retailers selling goods from Great Britain to overseas customers who arrange their own export transport, including personal-use purchases sent as freight or parcels.
Check before sending affected goods
Check overseas-customer eligibility and agree how you will obtain satisfactory export evidence before releasing the goods. Do not treat personal purchases carried away in the buyer’s baggage as qualifying indirect exports.
Relevant to: UK retailers sending parcels to Brazil for clearance through a DIR declaration, and the postal or courier operators submitting it.
Check before sending affected goods
Confirm the product classification and data handover with your shipping provider. Ask the Brazilian filing operator how it validates NCM and the separate cClassTrib tax code; resolve any rejected declaration.
Relevant to: UK businesses selling goods to Austrian consumers, particularly large distance sellers and retailers using facilitating marketplaces. Direct liability depends on the Austrian-sales threshold and selling model.
Check before sending affected goods
Identify the liable seller or platform, test the €100 million Austrian-sales threshold and check payment-acceptance records. If directly liable, arrange reporting and any required Austrian fiscal representative; do not automatically add €2 to every order.
Relevant to: UK sellers supplying US-bound palm oil or derivatives potentially linked to Mitra Aneka Rezeki or Hardaya Inti Plantation, and their US importers.
Check before sending affected goods
Check the actual producer and supporting traceability before dispatch. Resolve any MAR/HIP link or unclear product scope with the US importer and broker; unrelated Indonesian goods are not automatically covered.
Relevant to: UK businesses sending pens, badges, toys, samples or other goods inside international letters, large letters or flats. This guide focuses on dispatch from Great Britain.
Check before sending affected goods
Check what is inside, use a service that accepts goods, declare them accurately and confirm the required invoice and customs information. Do not assume a free item has no customs value or qualifies for relief.
Relevant to: UK retailers selling to Brazilian consumers, especially through platforms and logistics operators participating in Brazil’s Remessa Conforme compliance programme.
Check before sending affected goods
Check that seller details, order values and payment records agree. Ask your platform or customs representative what supporting records it needs; do not artificially split orders to obtain tax treatment.
