Import Goods to UK FAQs

What are the new rules for importing goods to the UK from the EU?

As of 2024, new rules apply for importing goods from the EU to the UK. You now need to follow customs processes similar to those for non-EU countries. This includes making customs declarations, paying import duties and VAT where applicable, and ensuring you have the correct documentation, such as an EORI number and commodity codes.

How do I calculate customs charges when importing goods to the UK?

To calculate customs charges, you need to know the value of your goods, their commodity code, and the applicable tariff. You can use the UK Trade Tariff tool on gov.uk to find the rate of duty. Import VAT is typically charged at 20% of the value of the goods plus any import duty. For goods valued under £135, different rules may apply.

Do I need an EORI number to import goods into the UK?

Yes, you need an Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number to import goods into the UK. This applies to imports from both EU and non-EU countries. You can apply for an EORI number through the gov.uk website. It’s essential for making customs declarations and managing other customs processes.

What is a commodity code and why do I need it?

A commodity code, also known as an HS code, is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. You need a commodity code to complete customs declarations, calculate the correct import duties and taxes, and ensure compliance with import regulations. The code helps determine the tariff rate and any specific import requirements for your goods.
