How does the UK customs duty calculator work?

The calculator uses current rates from the TCA agreement (2026) and the UK Global Tariff for third countries.

3 calculation steps: Origin of goods → Duty rate → Import VAT

flag

1. Origin of goods

The key factor. Goods from Poland and the EU qualifying for TCA → 0% duty. Goods from third countries → UK Global Tariff (rates depend on HS code).

percent

2. Duty rate (% of value)

The calculator uses representative rates for each category. For a precise HS code, enter the rate manually using the UK Trade Tariff.

receipt

3. UK import VAT

Usually 20%, applied to goods value + duty. UK VAT-registered businesses can defer payment using Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA).

info

Important: TCA and Rules of Origin (ROO)

The 0% TCA duty rate is not automatic. Goods must satisfy the preferential Rules of Origin. Without the correct documentation (exporter's statement or EUR.1 certificate), duty will be charged at the full rate.

This is especially relevant for complex goods (electronics, machinery) where components may originate from third countries. Our team verifies documentation before every clearance.

Frequently asked questions

How much import duty do I pay on goods from Poland to the UK? expand_more

For goods of Polish or EU origin qualifying for TCA preferences, the duty rate is 0%. Requirements: Rules of Origin (ROO) must be met and an exporter's statement or EUR.1 certificate must be provided. Goods from third countries are subject to the UK Global Tariff — rates range from 0% to over 12% depending on the HS code.

How is UK import VAT calculated? expand_more

UK import VAT is normally 20% (or 5% for selected goods, 0% for food and children's clothing). Tax base: goods value + duty + transport costs to the UK point of entry. UK VAT-registered businesses can defer payment using Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA).

Is there customs duty on exports from the UK? expand_more

No — the UK does not levy export duty. Exporters only pay the customs agent's handling fee. Import duties and taxes in the destination country (e.g. Poland) are payable by the importer.

How much does UK customs clearance cost? expand_more

Import clearance handled by a customs agent typically costs £45 to £150 per declaration. Export clearance costs £45 to £120. The final price depends on the number of commodity lines and complexity of documentation. These are indicative ranges — exact pricing after documents are submitted.

What is TCA and why does it give 0% duty? expand_more

TCA (Trade and Cooperation Agreement) is the trade deal between the UK and the EU that came into force on 1 January 2021. It provides zero tariffs and quotas for goods that meet the preferential Rules of Origin. To benefit from 0% duty you must prove that the goods genuinely originate in the UK or EU (ROO rules).
