Air freight from Yiwu, China to United Kingdom

• Urgent orders that cannot wait for sea transit.

• Samples before a large order.

Batteries and products containing them, liquids, perfumes, aerosols, strong magnets and powders are restricted by air. Always mention them when requesting a quote so we can confirm or suggest an alternative.

In the UK importers usually need a GB EORI number, and some products need UKCA or CE marking under current rules. In the EU many products need CE marking and conformity documents, importers usually need an EORI number, and VAT rules apply to e-commerce parcels (such as the IOSS scheme). The UK, Switzerland and Norway have separate systems.

This is general guidance and may change. Confirm current requirements with the authorities or a customs broker in your country.
