Can I import, or move within the UK, bulk consignments of herbal or homeopathic remedies?
In their bulk form, herbal and homeopathic medicines are not eligible for duty relief unless they are recognised by HM Revenue & Customs as having medicinal properties. (See paragraph 2.3). If you wish to import, or move your products within the UK, in bulk, that is not in their final packaged form, then please contact the Excise Helpline, phone 0845 010 9000 with details of each product you intend to move. They will advise you as to whether they can be moved without the spirits element of your product becoming liable to duty, or if a warehouse approval will be required to allow the receipt of duty suspended goods.
