Posting letter to the EU from the UK.

Hi. Posting here as this seems like the most suitable category.

I want to send a couple of 'business size' letters from the UK to EU countries. Does anyone know if I can just put a few first class stamps on them and then post in the local post-box? I presume that whilst we're still in the EU I don't have to fill in any 'customs forms' or anything like that. I've read online that the cost of a letter to the EU is £1.35, so if I put 3 first class stamps (without the stated price on them) on the letters, that should more than cover the cost, right?

It's minus 9c here with the wind-chill and possibly more importantly I'd rather not have to pay a £12 return taxi fair just to go to the nearest post office in the town centre. So even if I put more than the postage cost on, it will still save me money.

Thanks.

Depending on weight - £1.35  up to 20g; £1.60 up to 100g.    Assuming that "business size"  means a DL or C5 envelope.  Yes it will work.   Worth writing Air Mail in top left corner if you don't have stickers.

There is no need for customs stickers for letters to anywhere in the world, unless of course you are actually sending a product that is the size and weight of a piece of paper.
