YOUR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Supporting Beverage Brands Across United Kingdom

Great Britain has run its own food labelling rules since leaving the European Union, and treating a UK launch as an EU variant is the most common mistake. The address of the responsible food business must be in the UK, and the levy on sugary soft drinks changes the economics of the recipe itself.

ACMFOOD works to that reality. We provide formulation, production, quality documentation and export paperwork; your importer handles the customs declaration and its obligations as the responsible food business.

The Soft Drinks Industry Levy is worth modelling before the formula is fixed. Moving a recipe below a levy band is a formulation decision, and it is far cheaper to make during development than after artwork and stock exist.

Answers to common questions from British importers, distributors and private label beverage brands.

Ask Our Team →
What is the minimum order quantity for the UK?

500 cartons per SKU is the standard minimum. Several SKUs can be combined into one container, which is the usual way to start a UK launch without overcommitting on a single flavour.

Your UK business is the responsible food business operator named on the pack and handles the customs declaration. ACMFOOD supplies specifications, certificates of analysis and traceability records. Confirm your own obligations with the Food Standards Agency or your customs broker.

Not without changes. Great Britain sets its own rules and the responsible business address on the pack must be in the UK. Treat GB artwork as its own version rather than a relabelled EU one.

The levy applies to soft drinks above defined sugar thresholds and is paid in the UK, so it lands in your cost per case rather than ours. Because the bands depend on sugar content, the cheapest place to deal with it is in formulation, before the recipe is signed off.

UKVFTA provides preferential tariff treatment between Vietnam and the UK. The applicable rate depends on the HS code of your specific product, so check the tariff schedule and prepare origin documentation before building your landed cost.

Felixstowe and Southampton handle most container traffic into the UK. Confirm transit time with your carrier and remember it comes out of the shelf life on arrival. Our products carry 18 to 24 months depending on product and format.
