Gibraltar Import Customs Requirements
Customs, VAT and Regulations
VAT Gibraltar
To manage a delivery from Gibraltar to the UK, you will need to consider VAT notices, commodity codes and excise duty in some cases. In Gibraltar, there is no standard VAT as it is not a part of the EU VAT system. However, import duties and other taxes may apply to certain types of goods. The customs regulations in Gibraltar are unique due to its status and location. It’s essential to be aware of these specific requirements when organising shipping to Gibraltar or deliveries from the territory to the UK. Barrington Freight can assist with any taxes that may apply so ask us about this for all of your Gibraltar shipping arrangements.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Gibraltar |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 0% (Note: Gibraltar does not apply VAT, but has other forms of taxation) |
Restrictions
HM Customs in Gibraltar manage which goods can enter or leave the territory. Most classes of goods can be imported and exported but extra rules may apply for:
- Cultural and Historical Artifacts: Strict regulations apply to the export of items with significant cultural or historical value, particularly those related to Gibraltar’s unique heritage and history.
- Tobacco Products: Given Gibraltar’s distinct tax status, there are stringent limits and regulations on the export of tobacco products to combat smuggling.
- Alcohol: Similar to tobacco, restrictions and limits are in place for the export of alcoholic beverages due to Gibraltar’s duty-free status.
- Firearms and Ammunition: Strict licensing and export controls on firearms, ammunition and related equipment, reflecting both local laws and international agreements.
- Pharmaceuticals and Controlled Substances: Tight regulations on the export of certain medications, especially those classified as narcotics, due to strict drug control policies.
EORI Number Gibraltar
Gibraltar, being a British Overseas Territory with a unique status post-Brexit, requires specific consideration. Businesses in Gibraltar trading with the UK and the EU need to be aware of the need for both a UK-issued and an EU-issued EORI number, depending on the direction of trade. The customs and trade arrangements for Gibraltar may also be influenced by specific agreements negotiated post-Brexit, affecting how customs and trade operations are conducted. Despite the general principles of needing an EORI and compliance with customs regulations being applicable, the details may vary based on Gibraltar’s unique arrangements. Professional services, like those provided by Barrington Freight, are invaluable for navigating these complexities, ensuring that businesses remain compliant with all necessary regulations, whether dealing with imports or exports to or from Gibraltar, the UK, and the EU.
Barrington Freight operates as a customs clearance agency as well as a team of expert freight forwarders. Therefore, we can assist you with all these matters, whether you’re importing or exporting. We hold the necessary licensing arrangements to oversee exported goods from the UK to Gibraltar.
Shipping Routes to Gibraltar from the UK
Shipping to Gibraltar by road means also crossing the border at the Spanish town of La Linea de la Concepcion. Here, local agency partners help gain clearance from Spanish customs which, unfortunately, is not always straightforward. Another good reason to use the experts – Barrington Freight – when shipping from the UK to Gibraltar, of course.
Gibraltar is only 6.8 square kilometres in area, and road access can be challenging in some parts of the territory. The difficult terrain in parts of Gibraltar is known to almost all, especially the mountainous Rock of Gibraltar with its colony of Barbary Macaques which prove such a magnet for tourists. However, this also makes large or heavy haulage to some parts of Gibraltar more difficult and may necessitate multiple drop-offs using smaller vehicles at your destination.
We cover the whole territory, including the areas of East Side, North District, Reclamation Areas, Sandpits Area, South District, Town Area and Upper Town. We deliver to Catalan Bay, Europa Point, Sandy Bay, St Abbs Head, Grand Casemates Square, the Royal Navy Hospital, South Barracks, Buena Vista Barracks, Lathbury Barracks, the North Front Airfield, Devils Tower Road, Main Street, the Dockyard, Europort Road, Queensway, Waterport Road, Winston Churchill Avenue, Europa Road and elsewhere.
