Sizing language and UK import checks

Treat the label as a clue

A familiar S, M or L does not guarantee the same fit as a UK garment. Compare garment measurements with something you already own and note whether the source is describing body measurements or the item itself. For trainers, check the actual size chart and foot-length guidance instead of relying on a casual conversion.

Raw product titles remain in their source language. Around them, this site uses British terms such as trainers, football shirts, trousers, colour and favourite.

Check current UK rules

Goods sent from abroad pass through customs. Depending on the route and circumstances, VAT, Customs Duty or Excise Duty may be payable. Values and rules can change, so this guide does not freeze a threshold in site copy. Use the current GOV.UK guidance and ensure goods are declared correctly.
