Posting personal belongings back to the UK?
Just wondering if anyone knows what description to use on customs declarations when sending small boxes of personal belongings/clothes back to the UK?
I ask, as I have sent some bits back to DD who was in Switzerland and as long as you identified the contents as 'personal belongings for relocation' customs are happy to let them go through but in the UK I don't know as she is back there at the moment and needs some warmer clothes
I will be sending a couple of bigger boxes groupage once she settles but this is in the interim
Any knowledge/advice would be great
Thanks

I was told to tick 'other' on the form and put value as zero.
