               If you are on regular medication, be sure                                                                    the UK rather than
               to bring at least two month’s supply of                                                                      packing them in your
               your prescription – but preferably three
               months if at all possible. There may be                                                                      hold luggage.
               some discrepancy between drug regulations
               in the UK and your home country that
               can occasionally make access to your
               usual medication more difficult.  Having
               a reasonable supply of your medication
               before moving to the UK will help to avoid
               any additional stress if you are managing a
               health issue.


               Shipping personal items

               You may wish to ship some larger items to
               the UK rather than packing them in your
               hold luggage. To make sure you don’t pay
               too much tax when shipping your goods to
               the UK, HM Revenue & Customs has created
               a Customs Procedure Code 4000C06.
               You should give this code to your courier
               who will attach it to a C88 form. This code
               covers the tax for clothes, books and any
               personal items you will need for their time
               at university. If you use a postal service you
               will need to pay and then reclaim import
               VAT. Full details can be found on the UK
               government website.
