Denmark — Freight & Shipping Guide

Denmark's strengths in areas like design, furniture manufacturing, and renewable energy, particularly wind power, influence trade flows. The UK imports furniture and components for the renewable energy sector. Danish food products and pharmaceuticals are also significant exports. UK exports often consist of specialised machinery, automotive components, and chemicals needed to support Danish industries. Seasonal demand may increase before major retail periods, although overall trade is relatively consistent.

As Denmark is a member of the European Union, shipments from the UK are subject to customs declarations, import duties, and VAT. A valid EORI number is required for all UK businesses involved in importing or exporting. The commodity code for each item must be correctly declared. For goods of UK or EU origin, preferential tariffs may apply under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, provided appropriate proof of origin is supplied. Commercial invoices and packing lists are essential.
