UK Henna & Indigo Import: Documentation After Brexit
Import henna and indigo into the UK — CHED, customs broker workflow, batch documentation, and distributor checks for post-Brexit supply chains.
Request export quote — share SKU mix, port, and annual volume for a structured reply.
UK buyers sourcing henna and indigo from India operate in a post-Brexit environment where your broker, responsible person (for finished cosmetics), and factory documentation must align on every shipment. Distributors serving salon chains and natural colour brands should standardise specs once — then replicate on reorders.

See the UK export market page for Herbalexia MOQ and product mix. Natural colour lines typically pair henna with indigo.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need UKCA/UKRP for bulk henna imports?
- Bulk ingredients imported for repacking or manufacturing follow different rules than retail units sold to consumers. Confirm obligations with your UK responsible person and broker.
- Can one invoice cover henna and indigo?
- Yes, with separate line items, batch IDs, and weights per SKU. This mirrors how two-step salon systems are stocked.
- What lead time should UK distributors plan?
- Sea freight from India is commonly several weeks port-to-port plus clearance. Air trials are faster but cost more per kilo — useful for QA sign-off.
