Import Reliefs

Common Reliefs Available

Returned Goods Relief (British Return) – Allowing tax free re-import of goods which were exported from the UK originally. The original export entry details are required, and the goods must be returning unchanged. 

Medical & Scientific Goods – Import tax relief can be claimed on goods imported for research or medical diagnosis and treatment in certain circumstances. 

Printed & Promotional Goods – Educational books and advertising material are eligible for import tax relief. 

Charitable Goods – Goods imported by charitable organisations or disaster relief purposes may be eligible for reliefs. Goods to support disabled or visually impaired people also qualify. 

Samples – Commercial samples or samples for testing can be imported tax free, providing the goods are defaced or destroyed after they have served their purpose. If you import commercial samples such as clothing which are later sold at discount, the relief cannot be claimed.
