Third-country duty

The duty payable under the UK Global Tariff when goods do not qualify for a preferential arrangement. Most goods from WTO members pay this rate.

Preferential duty

A lower or zero rate for goods originating in a country with a UK trade agreement, or under schemes such as the Developing Countries Trading Scheme.

Quotas & order numbers

Tariff-rate quotas allow a set quantity at a lower rate. Quota order numbers are shown so you can apply for a licence through the right authority.

Licences & controls

Some goods need import licences or certificates, or meet prohibitions — from firearms and CITES-listed wildlife to plant health and organic products.

Trade remedies

Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties protect UK industry. They are applied on top of the standard customs duty where shown.

Import VAT

Standard rate 20%, reduced rate 5% for some goods, zero rate for others. VAT is charged on the landed value: goods value + duty + freight + insurance.
