Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has set a number of rules and regulations on shipping goods by people who migrate to or enter the UK. Arriving UK is not really complicated as long as you abide by the rules. Just obey these rules and you are free to enter the nation!

If you breach the rules set by HMRC, there are possibilities that you may be taken into custody or detained. You are not allowed to bring certain things across UK border. Thus, a little knowledge about the UK custom regulations comes handy when you are planning to travel the UK.

The HMRC has divided the goods into 4 categories. They are:

• Things that can be brought across the UK free of charge.
• Things that can be brought across the UK, however, which may incur charge, such as duty/value added tax.
• Things that can be brought across the UK, but with legal permission.
• Things that should not be brought across the UK.

Interestingly, visitors are permitted to bring alcohol, tobacco, perfume into the UK free of charge, however, there is as limit to the amount. These allowances, except the perfume are only meant for people who are over 17 years old.
