What goods cannot be delivered from the UK to Cyrpus?
The UK EshopWedrop Origin warehouse is based in Essex. This means, that every time you are shopping from online retailers in the UK your parcels will be sent to the UK Origin Warehouse, and from there, your parcels will arrive in the Netherlands, before being delivered to you in Cyprus.
When parcels arrive in the Netherlands, each of them is subject to import customs formalities – this allows the parcels to be circulated as EU parcels to any EU destination country without any other customs formalities during the transit or at the destination. When preparing your customs declaration, you will be asked to provide a detailed description of the contents of your parcel. This in turn will generate HS codes used in the customs clearance procedure by Dutch customs officials. We have discovered that items with HS codes beginning with 0, 1, or 2 are strictly prohibited by Dutch officials.
Please find below a list with examples of products that cannot be delivered from the UK to Europe subject to Dutch custom formalities (this list is not exhaustive, and the prohibited products are not only limited to the examples listed below):
- Animal products, All food and drinks,
- Live animals, birds, cattle, livestock,
- Counterfeit goods,
- Plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables,

It’s our priority to ensure your parcels are customs cleared and delivered to you. However, for parcels containing products as per the list above, we cannot be held liable for your losses. The authorities are known for their confiscation and destruction of these items.
