How do I avoid import tax on my dog in the UK?

The UK requires pets to be covered under a “Transfer of Residency” (ToR) declaration to avoid Customs VAT upon arrival. To be clear, a ToR number is not required to import your pet into the UK. However, you will need to pay the Customs VAT if you do not have a ToR number at the time of your pet's arrival.
