Understanding UK Global Tariff Changes

HMRC have simplified and liberalised many tariffs on goods imported into the UK. Government amendments are highlighted in the 'change' column in the UK Global Tariff tool.

Liberalised

The tariff has been reduced to zero, making these goods duty-free for import.

Simplified

The tariff has been rounded down or 'banded'. Complex tariffs are now expressed as a single percentage.

Reduced

The tariff has been lowered beyond the simplification measure for additional savings.

Currency Conversion

Tariffs converted at €1 = 0.83687 GBP. Rates ≥£10 rounded to nearest pound, <£10 to nearest 10p.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about UK Global Tariff duty rates

What goods does the tariff apply to?

The UKGT will apply to all goods imported into the UK unless:

  • An exception applies, such as a relief or tariff suspension
  • The goods come from countries that are part of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences
  • The country you're importing from has a trade agreement with the UK

It does not cover other import duties, such as VAT, or the precise details of trade remedy measures.

Are any goods covered by a tariff-rate quota?

Some products are covered by a tariff-rate quota, allowing a limited amount to be imported at zero or lower tariff rates.

If there is a tariff-rate quota on your product, you can apply to import a limited amount at a reduced rate of customs duty.
