SHIPPING INFORMATION - packing your sample
UK ENTRANTS: You may use standard postal systems or delivery/courier services.
OVERSEES ENTRANTS: Please complete steps 1-6 outlined below
- Print out the entry nomination PDF included on your confirmation email and include it in the package with your samples.
- Include your Transaction ID (found on your invoice and confirmation email, starting BBA25) and Company Name on the outside of the package.
- Please ensure your courier includes your Transaction ID on the paperwork.
- Oversees samples must be sent as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). Instruction to complete the import declaration should be given to your chosen shipping agent or courier company such as Fedex, DHL, UPS and TNT. Please DO NOT use standard postal systems. They regularly get held up at customs, and we are unable to clear or collect.
- You must package your samples marked "Shipper accepts charges" on the documentation provided by your shipping agent or courier company, as all charges are your responsibility as the entrant to pay. Keep a copy of the documents as proof that UK Duties have been paid.
- All bottles being sent from outside the UK must be accompanied by a commercial invoice for the purpose of paying UK VAT. If you use your own commercial invoice you MUST include the following: Importers Record Address - Agile Media, Jubilee House, 56-58 Church Walk, Burgess Hill RH15 9AN; Product name, Description of product, Quantity of products, Bottle Volume and ABV of bottle. A sample commercial invoice can be downloaded from the link below and must be included with your shipment. If using the sample commercial invoice, please complete all sections highlighted in red.
