Business Link offers guide on importing goods from outside EU
OVERSEAS IMPORTS make an important contribution to the UK economy. It can be far more cost-effective to import goods than to manufacture them in the UK, giving importers a small competitive advantage.
In some cases, overseas suppliers offer goods that aren't available from UK sources. Purchases from overseas are treated differently depending on whether the goods come from countries within the European Union or from elsewhere. Within the EU, most goods can be imported with minimal customs control.
This Business Link guide will give you specific information relating to countries outside the EU. But for a general overview of importing goods read the various guides that they offer.
