1. For common items such as clothes, hats, etc, it is easier and cheaper to send to the UK via Safe Service. For documents and food, it is faster and easier to send to the UK via LHK Express Plus (UPS).

Dimensional weight is calculated as length*width*height/5000, length, width and height are all in centimeters.

Precious metals such as diamonds, gold, etc. Obscene items, herbs, meat and dairy products. If you send plants, you need to apply for an import and export license between the two places.
3. Items such as food, medicines, liquids (cosmetics), and battery-containing products require a designated courier company to be shipped to the UK. Therefore, before submitting such an item, it is recommended to contact our Customer Service to provide more information, such as items' photos, etc., in order to provide a more feasible solution. Also, it is recommended to allow more time as these items usually take longer to complete shipping and customs clearance.
4. For transporting valuables/fragile items, we recommend that you install reinforced packaging to reduce the chance of damage, or you can leave it to us to assist with packaging.
5. It is recommended to purchase transportation insurance when shipping high-value items. Shipping insurance charges are based on the value of the item. You select *Requires Insurance* at the end of the order, and the system will calculate the insurance charge for your order immediately.
6. UK import tax consists of customs duties and value added tax (VAT). With the exception of the LHK Safe Service, you will have to pay duties on the goods as long as the value of the goods exceeds £150. Gross calculations include product value, shipping costs, packaging costs, and shipping insurance. VAT must also be paid. The current ordinary VAT is 20%.
21KG or above LHK Express Plus (UPS) is the most calculated. Therefore, if a customer sends a 14-20KG package to the UK, we generally recommend sending more items to relatives and friends.
