Tariffs on goods imported into the UK
How to check the tariff rates that apply to goods you import.
The UK Global Tariff (UKGT) applies to all goods imported into the UK unless:
- the country you’re importing from has a trade agreement with the UK
- an exception applies, such as a relief or tariff suspension
- the goods come from developing countries covered by the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS)
Importing goods covered by a tariff-rate quota
Some products are covered by a tariff-rate quota (TRQ).
If there’s a TRQ for your product, you can apply to import a limited amount at a zero or reduced rate of customs duty. If this limit is exceeded, a higher tariff rate applies.
Some tariff-rate quotas are only applicable to products imported from a specified country.
Check the TRQs for specific products, including volume limits and authorised uses.

Tariff relief on some goods for tackling coronavirus (COVID-19)
The tariffs and VAT have been removed on some goods.
Find the tariffs which are subject to relief measures because of COVID-19.
How to check the tariff
Use the look-up tool to check the tariff rates that apply to goods you’re importing into the UK.
The tool shows the tariff rates that will be applied to goods at the border when they’re imported into the UK.
It does not cover:
- other import duties, such as VAT
- the precise details of trade remedy measures, such as anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguards
Duty on dumped and subsidised goods and import surges
Check if the tariff includes additional duty applied to prevent injury to UK industry from unfair trading practices.
The Trade Remedies Authority investigates if there are unfair trading practices such as dumped and subsidised goods and unforeseen surges of imports which are harming UK producers.
