When preparing to trade, either importing or exporting goods to and from the UK, you will need to ensure you provide your Customs Clearance Agents UK with the appropriate Commodity Code for your cargo.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you that is it always the shipper’s responsibility to provide the correct HS Code (Commodity Code) for the goods in question. Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will always check the commodity code to ensure it is relevant to your goods.
The UK Trade Tariff can be used to find HS Codes and relevant information for UK import taxes and duties which would be applicable for the import of goods to the UK.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will point you to the UK Trade Tariff to search for the commodity code best suited to your cargo. https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff
From here, you can search for relevant key words to find your cargo commodity.
Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you to consider the below questions if you are struggling to find an appropriate commodity code.
- What is the cargo?
- What does it do?
- What is it made from?
If you are still struggling to find an appropriate commodity code, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you to contact the classification team within HMRC for help and guidance on selecting the appropriate commodity code.
Once you have reached a commodity code, you can then see on the UK Trade Tariff if your cargo requires any import or export licences and applicable vat and duty information.
