Things to Consider when shipping personal effects to the UK from Canada

As the goods are coming from outside the UK, importers of personal effects are essentially requesting relief from duty and taxes that may other wise be due.

Jet Worldwide provides low cost door to door parcel delivery for shipping personal effects to the UK.

Restricted Items: Goods that cannot be sent as Personal Effects.

The list of restricted goods to the UK include items with batteries (restricted for air transport), drugs (even prescription), and perishable items. Also, goods must also be truly personal effects (not new items that are being sent to avoid import duties).

Before sending your shipment of personal effects to the UK, Canadian shippers must obtain a "unique reference number" which you need to provide to Jet Worldwide. The Unique Reference Number" is required to make a customs entry for personal effects being imported tax exempt into the UK.
