SEALED SNACKS
Labelled ambient products
Sealed retail goods with clear labels can be assessed by their ingredients, quantity and route conditions.
FOOD AND SNACKS TO THE UK
Ship food and snacks to the UK: check ingredients, packing and quantity first
Food cannot be answered with a blanket yes or no. Ingredients, product form, retail labels, liquid content, quantity, packing and available route conditions all matter.
- Keep labels and ingredient lists
- Use sealed retail packing
- Do not assume all snacks are eligible
CHECK THE REAL PRODUCT
Food categories should be separated before consolidation
SAUCES AND LIQUIDS
Containers with leakage risk
Provide container size, ingredient list and protective-packing details; liquid content can change the route review.
ANIMAL INGREDIENTS
Meat, egg, dairy and fresh goods
These may face stricter restrictions. Do not send them to the warehouse without confirmation.
LOOSE POWDERS
Unlabelled or unclear food forms
Loose, unlabelled, damaged, leaking or short-life products are difficult to assess and may be refused.
PACKING AND INFORMATION
Make food identifiable and protected before considering consolidation.
Keep retail packaging intact, retain the ingredient label, add leak protection and cushioning where needed, and avoid treating a large quantity as a routine personal parcel.

FOOD FAQS
Questions before sending food or snacks to the UK
Can all retail snacks ship to the UK?
No. Labels help the route review, but ingredients, quantity, packing and the available service determine the outcome.
Can hotpot base and sauce ship?
They need an ingredient, container, leakage and route review. Do not assume they fit the same service as dry snacks.
Why are labels important?
Labels identify ingredients, product form, quantity and handling needs. They are essential to a meaningful eligibility assessment.
Send food labels, packing photos and the full postcode before shipping
This makes it possible to assess any available UK route and the conditions that apply.
