Customs
If you have goods to declare, please go to the red Customs point.
If you have nothing to declare:
- If your journey started in a European Union country (your hold baggage will have a green-edged tag), use the blue exit.
- If your journey began outside the EU (your baggage will have a white tag), use the green channel.
If you're transferring between two international flights, you may be able to have your baggage tagged through to your final destination. You will still need to declare any items in your hand baggage which are liable for duty.
If you are connecting from an international flight to a UK flight you must clear Customs and immigration.
For more information please visit the HM Revenue & Customs website.
