It's tricky, UK has a trade deal with the EU, however, the general rule on personal imports you have to pay local VAT. If you have lived outside the EU for a year and moving here, you can bring all personal belongings without tax, but lots of forms & proof needed. You are best to talk to a shipper, people have said they have managed to drive here with things in their car, without a problem, but can be tricky if you get a customs check. You need to be carful what you are carrying & have all the correct paperwork. Being a third country now is a pain.
It's all tricky now as page explains below.
- Tea bags are OK, because they contain neither meat nor dairy products
- Marmite, a vegan spread, can be brought into the EU, but Bovril cannot because it contains beef stock.
- Christmas pudding would be banned because it contains suet, which is a meat product.
- You could travel with bread but not a sandwich, as you cannot bring
even a small amount of butter, meat, or cheese that would be included
inside it.
- Fresh fruit, vegetables and cut flowers are also all banned, so you cannot keep an apple or a banana in your pocket as a snack.
- Cartons of orange or apple juice are also banned for the same reason
