Shipping your Hospices de Beaune wines to the UK

It is possible and legal to ship your Hospices de Beaune wines to the UK. We have successfully worked with a dedicated company called Cote d’Or Import for many years. They do a “cellar to door” service, collecting the wine from our warehouse and bringing it to your door. You can of course use another company if you are used to it or send your wines to bonded warehouses. Their website is https://www.cotedorimports.com.

How does it work? The principle is easy

- you pay to Albert Bichot the cost of the wines (WITHOUT the 20% French VAT)
- you pay DIRECTLY to Cote d’Or Imports all shipping costs. Based on the quantity and value of your order, they will provide you a quote for their service. We are in close relationship with them and arrange the paperwork together.
- Duties & taxes payment : You will be contacted by CDI's partner in the UK to pay applicable import fees + duties & taxes at arrival in customs. Legally speaking, wines are shipped under the DAP rule (Deliver At Place), also known as DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). Final delivery can only be planned once import fees have been paid with customs.

How much does it cost?

Each order is different, but here is below their price guide for 2025. It will be of course updated at the moment your wines are shipped. Please note that this pricelist is only an indication. Albert Bichot is not responsible for any change to Cote d'Or import pricing or any change of regulations in the UK, duties or taxes rate at the time of shipping.
