Common questions

Everything you need to know before your first calculation.

Goods imported into the UK with a value under £135 are exempt from customs duty. Import VAT still applies. ClearDuty applies this threshold automatically — so if your shipment is under £135, duty is shown as £0.
VAT-registered UK importers can use postponed VAT accounting (PVA) to declare and recover import VAT on their VAT return rather than paying it upfront at the border. ClearDuty flags this option when you indicate you're VAT registered.
Enter a description of your product and click "Look up code" — ClearDuty will suggest the most likely commodity codes with their duty rates. You can also browse the UK Trade Tariff directly at trade-tariff.service.gov.uk.
Anti-dumping duties are additional tariffs applied to specific goods from specific countries where the UK government has determined goods are being sold below fair market value. They apply on top of standard customs duty and can be significant — particularly on certain goods from China.
ClearDuty uses UK Global Tariff rates sourced from the UK Trade Tariff. Rates are indicative — always verify with your freight forwarder or customs agent for high-value imports, as the exact rate depends on the precise commodity code and country of origin.
66 countries cover 99% of the value of UK imports, so covering all countries would add enormous complexity for very little benefit.
