VAT is applied upon entry into the UK for nearly all commercial goods sourced in Denmark. Businesses can reclaim this as input VAT, however.

Make use of VAT deferment accounts since this can help manage your firm’s bank balance when settling import VAT.

Accurate classification of goods is essential to determine applicable duties under the UK Global Tariff. Excise duties may apply depending on the commodity. Barrington Freight offers in-house customs clearance services to handle these complexities, ensuring correct duty assessment and compliance.
