Such items include, but are not limited to, explosives, corrosive products, counterfeit goods and alcohol above 70% ABV. Understandably, the list of prohibited and restricted goods can be long and possibly confusing, so here is a guide produced by The Post Office which clearly lays out what you can and can’t send.
If you have a product you wish to send from Belgium and you’re not sure if it will be allowed across the UK border, then it is best to first contact the UK customs office before ordering with us.
