Controlled goods are items that require special permission from the government before they can be imported and are subject to import licensing requirements.
Controlled goods for import into the UK include items like firearms, certain chemicals, medicines, and items with military or strategic importance.
These goods require special permission or licences from the UK government before they can be brought into the country. This is to ensure safety, security, and compliance with national and international regulations, particularly for controlled goods.
