FAQ
Is there United Kingdom import duty on toys?

Does the United Kingdom threshold apply to toys bought online?
Toys follow the same low-value parcel rules as other consumer goods: customs duty and Import VAT are generally not charged by the delivery company on non-excise consumer goods at or below GBP 135. Confirm the current threshold with the official source.
Are there extra rules for imported toys?
Yes. Imported toys typically must meet the destination's product-safety and labelling requirements. This estimate covers charges only, not safety compliance.
How much is import duty on toys?
There is no safe worldwide default percentage for toys. The exact rate depends on the destination's tariff classification, origin rules, and current trade measures; Import VAT, clearance fees, and mandatory safety compliance can also affect the real cost.
