You should follow different guidance if you're:

• receiving goods by post
• importing goods from countries outside the EU

From 1 January 2021, you'll need to make customs declarations when you import goods from the EU. These rules currently apply to importing goods from the rest of the world, including Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

You can make the declarations yourself, but most businesses use a courier, freight forwarder or customs agent.
