Travel Alert: UK Customs Will Seize These Prohibited Items

Travellers to the United Kingdom should review the latest HM Revenue & Customs guidance before departure. Certain goods are completely banned. These include controlled drugs, flick knives, self-defence sprays such as pepper spray and CS gas, endangered species products, rough diamonds and obscene materials. Other items like meat, dairy products and some plants face strict health checks. Firearms, explosives and ammunition require special licences before import. Declare any goods that need approval to avoid seizure or fines. If you are unsure about an item, seek official guidance well before you travel.
