The UK Global Tariff 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.
Additional duties on Russian and Belarusian imports
See information on additional duties on goods originating in Russia and Belarus.
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.
