Imports: Taxation

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 1 May 2025UIN 47517

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to meet with the British Retail Consortium to discuss its request that the UK’s de minimis limit on low value imports be reviewed.

Answered by James Murray

The Government has received a broad range of representation from stakeholders who are interested in the customs treatment of low value imports. Last week the Government announced a review of these arrangements and as part of this, Treasury Ministers and officials will engage a broad range of stakeholders, including the British Retail Consortium, to further understand their views and gather evidence to support our analysis.
