UK supermarket Waitrose suggested its followers "run, don't walk" as the chocolate biscuits arrived on March 22.
Biscuit lovers can treat themselves to the Original, Dark and Chewy Caramel varieties of the delicacy beloved by Australians since 1964.
"Finally, what all Brits have been wishing for has arrived," Arnott's said on its website.
The news puts Tim Tams directly against its UK rival Penguins and may settle the long-running debate over the superior biscuit.
Penguins are a McVitie's product described as "milk chocolate covered biscuit bars filled with chocolate cream".
In 2020 then UK prime minister Boris Johnson used the biscuits to promote a free trade deal between the two countries after Brexit.
"I want a world in which we send you Marmite, you send us Vegemite. We send you Penguins and you send us, with reduced tariffs, these wonderful Arnott's Tim Tams," he said.
"How long can the British people be deprived of the opportunity to have Arnott's Tim Tams at a reasonable price?"
