Thermal Paper & Label Supply to the UK
Since Brexit, the UK operates its own regulatory framework separate from the EU. Here’s what that means in practice for sourcing thermal paper and labels from Turkey.
UK regulatory framework: separate from EU REACH
Following Brexit, Great Britain operates UK REACH and UKCA marking as its own regulatory system, distinct from EU REACH — though the underlying restrictions on substances like BPA in thermal paper have generally mirrored the EU position. Kasetsan’s thermal paper and label range is produced with BPA-free, phenol-free coating, which addresses the substance itself regardless of which regulatory framework applies. If your specific import process requires UK-framework documentation rather than EU REACH references, mention this when requesting your quote so we can confirm what’s available.
Logistics and trade terms
A UK-Turkey free trade agreement is in effect, which is relevant to customs duty treatment for industrial goods — confirm current tariff treatment for your specific product code as part of your import planning. Standard destination ports include Felixstowe and Southampton for container shipments.
