    What You Need to Know About Carnets for the United Kingdom

    Post-Brexit: Separate Customs Territory

    Since Brexit, the UK is no longer part of the EU customs union. You need separate carnet stamps for UK entry/exit, even when traveling between the UK and EU countries.

    Entry Requirements

    • Present carnet to HMRC customs upon arrival at any UK port of entry
    • Complete item list with values in GBP or USD
    • Obtain entry stamp and keep counterfoil for your records
    • Re-export all items and obtain exit stamp before leaving the UK

    Restrictions & Limitations

    • Consumable goods and items for sale are prohibited
    • Northern Ireland has special arrangements (Windsor Framework)
    • All items must be re-exported; failure results in duty claims

    Pro Tips from EasyCarnet

    • 💡Plan extra time if traveling UK → EU or EU → UK; you need stamps for each territory
    • 💡Heathrow Terminal 5 has dedicated customs facilities for professional equipment
    • 💡For Eurostar travel, customs clearance occurs at St Pancras before departure
