British businesses are calling on the UK government to move quickly to close what they describe as an import tax loophole affecting small parcels. The concern centres on shipments from overseas that fall below a threshold value—commonly cited as £135—allowing such goods to enter the UK without paying import duties. Retailers that sell internationally can therefore send low-value items directly into the UK under the arrangement, which reduces or removes the cost of duties for recipients. The call is aimed at reducing potential unfair competition between overseas sellers that use the exemption and UK-based firms that must pay import-related costs when bringing goods into the country. Both outlets report that the issue relates specifically to small parcels and the duties exemption, and that British firms want the government’s plans to end the practice to be expedited. The coverage does not provide additional details about proposed implementation dates or the full scope of any replacement policy, but it frames the change as a matter of closing an existing gap in the way import charges apply to low-value shipments.
