Harrods is the only reliable in-store option in London — and it commands a serious price premium. Online ordering typically gives you better value, more sourcing transparency, and direct access to producers.
Since Brexit, the UK has operated its own independent customs and tariff regime. Ordering roasted coffee from Indonesia direct to London is straightforward — here's what you need to know.
Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU Customs Union. This means goods from Indonesia ship directly to the UK with no EU intermediary — making the import route simpler and potentially faster than when the UK was an EU member.
Roasted coffee beans (HS code 0901.21) are classified as a food commodity and are generally not subject to import duty under the UK Global Tariff. HMRC requires proper customs declaration and documentation for commercial shipments.
For personal imports from overseas sellers: orders under £135 typically have UK VAT (20%) collected at the point of sale by the retailer. For orders over £135, VAT and any applicable duty may be assessed at the UK border. Most established overseas coffee retailers handle this at checkout.
Commercial imports of coffee to the UK require: a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or airway bill. Roasted coffee does not require a phytosanitary certificate (unlike green/unroasted beans). Food safety compliance under the Food Standards Agency (FSA) applies.
There are no restrictions on importing or purchasing kopi luwak in the United Kingdom. Roasted coffee from Indonesia is not subject to any CITES or wildlife trade restrictions. It can be freely imported, sold, and consumed in the UK.
UK-based online sellers typically deliver to London in 2–5 business days. For international sellers shipping direct from Indonesia (like Pure Kopi Luwak), allow 7–14 business days. Express shipping options are often available for faster delivery.
London has one of the world's most discerning coffee cultures — from the third-wave roasters of Bermondsey to the old-school espresso bars of Soho. Pure Kopi Luwak is built for that level of appreciation.
