UK commodity code search

Describe the goods, review possible 10-digit tariff codes and then check the commodity record with an origin country.

UK landed cost calculator

Build the customs value, apply a tariff rate, estimate import VAT and see the total landed cost. You can search the UK Trade Tariff or enter a known 10-digit commodity code.

1. Find the tariff classification

Start with a product description or enter the code if you already know it.
Classification matters: choose the description that actually matches the goods.
Use the customs origin of the goods, not simply the seller, warehouse or dispatch country.

2. Enter the shipment values

Enter a rate manually or check the official tariff above.
20% UK standard-rate planning default. Official commodity data can automatically replace it with a clear reduced or zero rate when applicable.
Tick for alcohol, tobacco or other excise goods. Customs duty can apply at any value.
Simplified planning model for Great Britain: customs value = goods + freight + insurance. Import VAT is estimated on customs value + duty + other import costs unless you mark VAT as already accounted for. Current low-value and VAT rules can change and Northern Ireland rules differ.

Do not use this estimate as a customs declaration. Preference eligibility, rules of origin, quotas, anti-dumping duties, excise, additional codes and certificates can change the amount due.

How commodity codes work

Commodity classification is hierarchical. The final UK import declaration normally uses a declarable 10-digit commodity code. Product material, function, composition, packaging and intended use can all affect classification.

Why a keyword match is not enough

Search is a starting point, not a classification ruling. Read the complete tariff description and hierarchy, then check relevant notes and measures. For recurring or high-value imports where classification is uncertain, consider formal or professional classification support.
