Shipping & Customs to UK

International Shipping to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Ahinsa shoes ships to the UK with reliable carriers (UPS).

  • Shipping cost: up to ~16 EUR (the exact amount is calculated at checkout). You’ll always know your delivery charges before completing your purchase.
  • Delivery time: varies by carrier and service – estimated within normal international delivery windows, it usually takes 5-7 business days.

Import VAT, Duties & Customs

Because the UK is outside the EU, all shipments require customs clearance and may be subject to import charges. 

If the price of the shipment excluding shipping is 135 GBP or more, then a 12% duty is applied. In this case, 20% VAT is additionally charged according to the rules of United Kingdom.

If the price of the shipment, excluding shipping, is below 135 GBP, no duty is charged. In this case, VAT 20% is taken into account and paid by the seller according to the rules of United Kingdom.

Documentation & Clearance

Your parcel will include a commercial invoice and any necessary customs paperwork to help UK authorities process the import quickly.

UPS takes care of customs clearance on your behalf. To ensure fast delivery, UPS pays any applicable duties to the UK authorities and then bills these charges, together with the UPS customs handling fee, directly to you.

Tips for a Smooth Delivery

  • Make sure your address and contact details are correct — carriers may reach out about customs charges or clearance.
  • If duties are a concern, please contact your local authority.
