What a commodity code is

Commodity codes are internationally recognised reference numbers. A code describes a specific product when importing or exporting goods. You will use this code on any import declaration and can find them in the Trade Tariff tool.

You’ll need to find the right commodity code for any goods you import or export, as it works out:

the rate of Customs Duty and import VAT taxes preferential rates which may apply

The Trade Tariff tool will also help you check if:

you need a licence to move your goods you could pay less Customs Duty (for example because your goods are covered by a trade agreement) your goods are covered by: agricultural policy anti-dumping duties UK safeguarding measures tariff quotas

Finding the right commodity code for your goods can be complicated. Find out how to get someone to deal with customs for you.

Before you look for a commodity code

Commodity code in other countries

Although many countries have signed up to the same classification system, only the first 6 digits are used worldwide and product specific decisions are particular to each country.

If you rely on the commodity code from an overseas supplier, you’ll need to check if the treatment is the same and how much of the code applies in the UK.
