euShipments.com with new and improved delivery terms to the UK

In 2025, the UK remains one of the most important eCommerce markets in Europe. For that reason we at euShipments.com are enhancing our logistics network with a new last-mile delivery solution for the UK. With that new addition to our logistics ecosystem we aim to help you reach the full potential of the British eCommerce market and establish a strong business presence in the UK.

In the context of the global digitalization and rapid development of the eCommerce industry, the UK – with its over 60 million e-shoppers and high purchasing power, is one of the biggest and most potential eCommerce markets in Europe. British customers actively shop from foreign online stores if the delivery is fast and there are no surprising fees.

Despite the UK’s exit from the European Union, this market has not lost its importance, however, it requires new approaches and solutions, especially in terms of logistics and delivery. Following Brexit, trade between the EU and the UK is no longer intra-European but international, which brings new requirements – customs declarations, new thresholds, VAT regulations.

From the beginning of 2025 additional regulatory measures came into force – such as more thorough sanitary checks on certain types of products. Without prior electronic data submission and coordination with customs authorities, shipments may be detained or returned, which prolongs delivery times and significantly increases costs for the online merchants. This requires a good logistics partner as euShipments.com who monitors changes and adapts their processes.

Оur new last-mile delivery service for the UK is applicable for all eCommerce business models – whether the online merchant uses an in-house fulfillment process or one of our fulfillment locations. Regardless of the starting point, our fulfillment and cross-border clients have immediate access to it.

The new solution is facilitated through the Royal Mail’s partner network. In the UK, Royal Mail is generally considered the most preferred courier service, due to its extensive network and reliable services.

Thanks to that, online merchants are able to meet the high expectations of British e-shoppers by offering fast and flexible deliveries without compromising on the customer experience. Furthermore, our new solution comes with a returns management service, enabling UK customers to easily and conveniently return their orders. The entire process is integrated into the euShipments.com system, providing full track and trace visibility and control over reverse logistics. In this way, online merchants not only optimize their deliveries to the UK, but also offer a complete end-to-end service – from order to return.

ACCESSIBLE ONLY THROUGH API INTEGRATION

The new service from euShipments.com is accessible only through API integration with the online merchant’s platform. This means that the entire process of syncing orders, submitting shipments, customs declarations, and tracking happens automatically and without the need for manual entry.

Advantages:

  • Minimal administrative burden for the online merchant
  • Automatic sync of online orders and data in real time
  • Faster shipment processing
  • Easy integration with internal ERP, CRM, and eCommerce platforms

This level of automation ensures security and transparency throughout the entire process – from the moment the online order is placed to the successful last-mile delivery in the UK.

ADVANCE SUBMISSION OF PRODUCT INFORMATION WITH HS CODE AND PHOTO

Correct customs documentation is of great importance for the successful cross-border delivery. With the new euShipments.com solution, online merchants submit detailed information about each product only once, including:

  • HS code – a code under the international Harmonized Commodity Description System that determines the correct customs regime and possible duties
  • Product photo – visual confirmation that facilitates customs checks and prevents delays

This preliminary process ensures that each shipment is submitted with correct and approved information, which significantly reduces the risk of border detention, billing errors, and potential penalties.

ONLINE MERCHANT REQUIREMENTS – EORI AND UK VAT NUMBER

To sell and deliver to the UK, each online merchant must have:

  • EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) – required for customs operations in the EU and UK
  • UK VAT number – mandatory for charging and declaring value added tax in the UK

This requirement is key to ensuring legal and smooth sales, allowing online stores to correctly charge VAT and fulfill their tax obligations in the UK. euShipments.com offers advice on registering these numbers, making the transition easier for online merchants.

DUTY-FREE THRESHOLD

One of the important changes in UK customs policy is the duty-free threshold, which in 2025 is set at £135 (approximately €150). What does this mean for online merchants – all shipments below this threshold are not subject to customs duties, making deliveries cheaper and more attractive to the end customer. This greatly facilitates the processing of small orders and stimulates the growth of online sales.

euShipments.com’s new solution for last-mile deliveries to the UK is designed to meet the needs of online merchants looking for reliability, efficiency, and compliance with customs and tax regulations after Brexit. Through a set of highly automated and simplified procedures, the service provides complete transparency and control over cross-border shipping to the UK. This is a game-changing advantage for online stores looking to grow their business in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets – the UK.
