E21A Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Is it true retailers are only allowed to post to UKARA registered address? If so so is it possible to add an address to my entry on the database. Im having a mare with getting a RIF delivered.
Supporters Prisce Posted August 7, 2018 Supporters Posted August 7, 2018 It is true. Has to be delivered to the address registered to your UKARA, I don’t believe it’s possible to add another.

They are in Poland, thus not a UK retailer and won’t necessarily care as the VCRA does not directly affect them As a RIF crosses the border the buyer is the importer and responsible under the act

Why would a foreign business care? All they want is something that looks like a UKARA so that the package doesn't get bounced right back to them. Aside, I just asked the Home Office how many UKARA checks Border Force performed last year, and the tl;dr answer was "Don't know, won't find out for you." I strongly suspect that means that there is no systematic checking, and you'd have to be very unlucky to have your RIF spotted by Border Force, let alone having the UKARA actually checked. I'd stress though that in the case of import, the risk is on you.
