Customs formalities for sending a parcel to Scotland
If your shipment comes from a European country, it can circulate freely without any customs tax applying. Conversely, if your parcel is shipped from a country outside Europe, customs apply according to the nature of the goods.
Any shipment of goods to Scotland from a country outside the European Union must be accompanied by a pro-forma invoice in 3 copies detailing the contents of the parcel and may be subject to customs fees and taxes.
As with any import to the United Kingdom coming from a company outside Europe, if the imported goods are worth more than £600 an EORI number will be necessary so that your shipment does not remain blocked by Scottish customs.
If you wish to import alcohol into Scotland, the pro-forma invoice must clearly indicate the quantity in liters as well as the alcohol percentage. To import wine beyond 100 liters, contact local customs for more information.

Postal history of Scotland
The history of the Scottish post begins in Edinburgh in 1693, with the establishment of a postal service linking the major cities of the country. Independent until 1801, the Scottish Post was unified (along with its postal rates) with that of England at that date.
In 1839, a 4 pence marking (the “Fourpenny Rate”, a prepaid envelope) was issued before the fall in prices triggered by the massive printing of the “Penny Black” (a one-penny stamp extremely inexpensive for the time) which democratized mail sending throughout the British crown.
