Precautions for entering the UK:

There are three channels for British immigration ports: British passports, EU countries and other passports. China citizens should choose "other passport channels" for entry formalities.

China citizens can apply for refund of part of the value-added tax paid when shopping in the UK when they leave the country. When shopping, you should submit the tax refund receipt to the store in advance, fill in the relevant personal information as required, and submit the tax refund receipt or form to the airport customs before boarding the plane to prepare the purchased goods for inspection.

However, if the next destination is an EU country, you can't apply for a tax refund when you leave the UK, until you leave the last EU country. According to the regulations, you must apply for tax refund within 3 months after shopping.
