This dataset shows the UK import tariffs which apply from 1 January 2021. It lists preferential measures where the UK has entered into a new trade agreement or arrangement with a third country or territory. For other countries and territories, it shows the UK's Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs. The dataset does not include other import duties (such as VAT) and details of quota volumes.

This dataset has now been archived and will no longer be updated. For an up-to-date list of Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rates, see https://data.gov.uk/dataset/3bee9a8a-e69c-400e-add5-3345a87a8e25/tariffs-to-trade-with-the-uk-from-1-january-2021. The UK Global Tariff (UKGT) is the UK's first independent tariff policy which will replace the current Common External Tariff (CET) which applies until 31 December 2020. This tariff will enter into force on 1 January 2021. The UKGT will apply to all goods imported into the UK, unless: an exception applies (such as a relief or tariff suspension); the goods come from countries that are part of the Generalised Scheme of Preferences; the goods come from a country that has a trade agreement with the UK. It only shows the tariffs 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 remedies measures (such as anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguards). For more information, see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-tariffs-from-1-january-2021. This dataset lists how the tariff will change in the UKGT compared to the CET, split out by commodity code as specified to 8 or 10 digits by the 2020 Combined Nomenclature (CN). It includes a description for each code based on that standard. For each code, it includes the current duty expression under the CET and the new duty expression under the UKGT, with an additional field categorising the change (as 'no change', 'currency conversion', 'simplified', 'reduced' or 'liberalised'). The dataset also indicates where commodities are subject to a trade remedy or suspension, or if the CET will continue to apply until after transition reviews have concluded, or include an Autonomous Tariff Quota. Please see the guidance page for information on these terms and how the duty will change in these cases.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the value of exports from the United Kingdom amounted to approximately 206.3 billion British pounds, while imports to the country amounted to around 217.8 billion pounds, resulting in a trade deficit of around 11.5 billion pounds in this quarter. During this time period, the value of UK exports was highest in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the value of imports peaking in the third quarter of 2022. The UK's main trade partners Despite the UK leaving the EU in 2020 following the Brexit referendum of 2016, Europe remains the main destination for UK exports, with almost half of UK exports heading there in 2023. During the same year, just over 60 percent of imports came from European countries, compared with around 17.9 percent from countries in Asia, and 11.8 percent from the Americas. In terms of individual countries, the United States was the UK's leading export partner for both goods and services from the UK, while Germany was the main source of UK goods imports, and the U.S. for service imports. It is as yet unclear how the return of Donald Trump to the White House will impact UK/US trade relations, should the President follow through with threats made on the campaign trail to increase trade tariffs. Brexit rethink under Starmer? Although generally more pro-European than the previous government, the new Labour government, led by Keir Starmer, does not plan to rejoin the European Union, or the Single Market. Public opinion, while gradually turning against Brexit recently, has not coalesced around a particular trading relationship. In late 2023, a survey indicated that while 31 percent of British adults wanted to rejoin the EU, a further 30 percent wanted to simply improve relations with the EU, instead of rejoining. Just 11 percent of respondents wanted to join the single market but not the EU, while 10 percent were happy with the relationship as it was. At the start of 2025, after several months in office, the new government has not signalled any major change in direction regarding on this, but has broadly signalled it wants a better relationship with the EU.

This dataset shows the quotas available in the UK Tariff along with their current or final balances, updated daily. It lists each quota period for each six-digit quota order number with the commodities and geographical areas the quota applies to and information about the initial and current balance. It does not show any applicable tariff rates or conditions on use - for these, please see the Tariffs to trade with the UK dataset. The dataset includes historical quotas that are no longer available, their final balance and date of exhaustion, if any. It also includes some non-exhaustive information on some future quotas that is subject to change. Only quotas that have been created since the UK Tariff became independent on 1st January 2021 are shown. This dataset combines UK Tariff information from the Department for International Trade (updated regularly) and current quota balances from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (updated daily). Both data sources and this dataset are licensed under the Open Government License v3. You can use this data to analyse quota applicability and utilisation in bulk, and to understand trends in quota application and usage over time. You cannot use this data to make operational decisions about which quotas are available because current balance data may lag the allocations made by HMRC by several days. If you require further information on live quota balances, contact the HMRC Tariff Quota Management Team by email on tariff.management@hmrc.gov.uk.

Tax revenue from customs duty receipts in the United Kingdom amounted to 4.8 billion British pounds in 2023/24, compared with 5.53 billion pounds in the previous year.

Maatregelen inzake aan te geven goederen

Dit is een reeks tabellen die zijn onderverdeeld in secties die de maatregelen weergeven die van toepassing zijn op alle aan te geven goederencodes.

Dit zijn 10-cijferige codes, die zich op het laagste niveau in de goederencodehiërarchie bevinden (omdat ze geen goederencodes onder hen in de hiërarchie hebben). Dit betekent dat ze op de meest gedetailleerde classificatie voor dat product zijn.

Eventuele codes in deze tabellen zijn bruikbaar op aangiften tegen de aangegeven tarieven.

U kunt vinden welke rubriek u nodig heeft op het UK Integrated Online Tariff.

Maatregelen zoals gedefinieerd

Dit is een kleinere tabel die aangeeft waar in de goederencodehiërarchie elke maat is gedefinieerd. Dit geldt ook voor goederencodes die niet kunnen worden aangegeven.

Codes zijn gerangschikt in een hiërarchie, waarbij de kolom 'inspringen' de diepte van de code aangeeft.

Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Weighted Mean: Manufactured Products data was reported at 0.760 % in 2022. This records a decrease from the previous number of 1.770 % for 2021. Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Weighted Mean: Manufactured Products data is updated yearly, averaging 1.010 % from Dec 1989 (Median) to 2022, with 30 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 6.750 % in 1989 and a record low of 0.760 % in 2022. Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Weighted Mean: Manufactured Products data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.World Bank.WDI: Trade Tariffs. Weighted mean applied tariff is the average of effectively applied rates weighted by the product import shares corresponding to each partner country. Data are classified using the Harmonized System of trade at the six- or eight-digit level. Tariff line data were matched to Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes to define commodity groups and import weights. To the extent possible, specific rates have been converted to their ad valorem equivalent rates and have been included in the calculation of weighted mean tariffs. Import weights were calculated using the United Nations Statistics Division's Commodity Trade (Comtrade) database. Effectively applied tariff rates at the six- and eight-digit product level are averaged for products in each commodity group. When the effectively applied rate is unavailable, the most favored nation rate is used instead. Manufactured products are commodities classified in SITC revision 3 sections 5-8 excluding division 68.;World Bank staff estimates using the World Integrated Trade Solution system, based on tariff data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's Trade and Development's Trade Analysis and Information System (TRAINS) database and global imports data from the United Nations Statistics Division's Comtrade database.;;The tariff data for the European Union (EU) apply to EU Member States in alignment with the EU membership for the respective countries/economies and years. In the context of the tariff data, the EU membership for a given country/economy and year is defined for the entire year during which the country/economy was a member of the EU (irrespective of the date of accession to or withdrawal from the EU within a given year). The tariff data for the EU are, thus, applicable to Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands (EU Member State(s) since 1958), Denmark and Ireland (EU Member State(s) since 1973), the United Kingdom (EU Member State(s) from 1973 until 2020), Greece (EU Member State(s) since 1981), Spain and Portugal (EU Member State(s) since 1986), Austria, Finland, and Sweden (EU Member State(s) since 1995), Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia (EU Member State(s) since 2004), Romania and Bulgaria (EU Member State(s) since 2007), Croatia (EU Member State(s) since 2013).
