The United States has one of the largest and most passionate communities of British expats and Anglophiles in the world. With over 700,000 British nationals living in America — and millions more Americans who love British culture, British TV, and British products — sending British gifts to the USA is one of our most popular shipping destinations.
This guide covers everything you need to know about sending authentic British gifts to the USA in 2026.
What British Products Are Most Popular in the USA
American Anglophiles and British expats in the US consistently request the same categories of British products:
British Tea
Yorkshire Tea and PG Tips are available in some US supermarkets, but the selection is limited and the price is high. Sending a proper box of British tea — the kind you'd find in any UK supermarket — is always appreciated.
British Biscuits
McVitie's Digestives, Hobnobs, and Rich Tea biscuits are genuinely hard to find in the US outside of specialist British import shops (which charge a premium). These are consistently the most requested items in our US care packages.
British Chocolate
Cadbury chocolate made in the UK tastes noticeably different from the Cadbury sold in the US (which is manufactured under licence by Hershey with a different recipe). British-made Cadbury Dairy Milk, Roses, and Maltesers are always a hit.
British Subscription Boxes
For British expats in the US, a monthly British subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving — a regular delivery of curated British products that arrives at their door every month.
Shipping British Gifts to the USA — What You Need to Know
Customs and Import Rules
The USA allows personal gifts up to $800 in value to enter duty-free. Most packaged food products — tea, biscuits, chocolate, confectionery — can be shipped to the US without restriction. Fresh produce, meat, and dairy are restricted.
Delivery Times
From the UK to the USA, standard tracked international shipping typically takes 7–14 business days. Express options are available for time-sensitive gifts.
Packaging
All our US shipments are carefully packed to survive the transatlantic journey. Fragile items are wrapped individually, and all packages are sent with full tracking so you can follow your parcel every step of the way.
