online purchase from Denmark - post Brexit

ggloria007

hi there, 
I am intending to buy some cosmetic products from Denmark (as I usually do couple of times a year). I am intending to order over the xmas break, but the order might not arrive before 31st Dec 2020. I am aware new rules are to be set on the 1st of Jan 2021 as result of brexit, but really without of clue... Will i be obliged to pay any additonal fee once the products arrive to UK??? thanks

It's unclear yet. You can use this link to check what the tariff will be, but it hasn't been updated with details of the Trade deal that may be agreed with the EU (both the EU and the UK still have to enact the trade deal in their own legislation), so I doubt it will become clear before 31/12/2020:  Look up tariffs if you're importing into the UK from 1 January 2021 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Will also need to know the 10 digit commodity codes that cover the goods you will be importing. The link above can help you find these, but you may need to enter a different country than Denmark, as the  tool won't let you progress to this step until it knows what the tariffs are. You could try using Canada.

Are the cosmetics specific to Denmark? Have heard good things about rudolph care. Hadn’t even occurred to me this kind of thing would now incur fees until an etsy seller I liked added the UK to her excluded countries.
