HMRC have simplified and liberalised many tariffs on goods imported into the UK. Government amendments are highlighted in the ‘change’ column in the UK Global Tariff tool.
‘Liberalised’ means the tariff has been reduced to zero.
‘Simplified’ means the tariff has been rounded down or ‘banded’. For some complex tariffs this means the tariff is now expressed as a single percentage.
‘Reduced’ means the tariff has been lowered beyond the simplification measure.
‘Currency conversion’ means that tariffs have been converted at an exchange rate of €1 = 0.83687 GBP. After this conversion, rates equal to or over £10 have been rounded down to the nearest whole pound. Rates under £10 have been rounded down to the nearest 10 pence.
