Analysing trade agreements...
Which trade agreements apply to the UK?
UK-TCA (Trade and Cooperation Agreement)
The agreement with the EU/Poland. 0% duty on EU products when the RoO conditions are met.
Status: essential for PL-UK trade. Requires a CoO (Certificate of Origin).
Agreements with third countries (China, Vietnam, India...)
Various bilateral agreements. Most countries: no preference (MFN).
Exceptions: GSP+ (generalised system of preferences) for developing countries — requires certification.
Reliefs and regimes
ToR (Tariff Rate Quotas), IPR, RGR, Regime 42, End-Use — they can reduce the tariff even further.
Status: require special documents and HMRC approval. The tool shows the options available for your product.
Examples
Furniture manufacturer from Warsaw
"I ship sofas to the UK (HS code 9404.30.00). The Analyzer showed: TCA = 0%, MFN = 5%. With ToR relief I can add 20% of units at 0%. It changes the profitability of the whole batch."
Electronics importer from China
"I wanted to know whether components (HS 8517.62.00) fall under GSP+ or the standard duty. The tool showed: GSP+ available, but it requires CoO certification. I avoided the cost of a misclassification."
International freight forwarder
"I have 5 loads from different countries. The Analyzer showed which are TCA (0%) and which are MFN (5–10%). I can now quote accurately and offer optimisation to my clients."
FAQ
Is the preferential rate guaranteed? +
The rate is theoretical — subject to meeting the conditions (CoO, RoO, documents). HMRC may reject a claim if the documentation is incomplete.
What are rules of origin (RoO)? +
Requirements that goods must meet to receive preferential treatment. E.g. a product must contain at least 40% added value from a TCA country. The tool shows the requirements for your HS code.
How do I get a Proof of Origin? +
A certificate issued by the chamber of commerce/customs authority in the export country. In Poland: the Polish Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Commercial documents are required. A broker can help you with this.
What additional reliefs can I get? +
ToR (temporary quotas), IPR (raw materials for production), RGR (relief for research projects), Regime 42 (customs regime), End-Use (made-to-order components). The tool shows which are available for your goods — but they require HMRC approval.
Can I claim preferential treatment retroactively? +
Yes — up to 4 years back in the event of an error. But it's better to do it right away at import. Our brokers can help with retroactive claims. Send an enquiry: WhatsApp +44 7404 091503.
