If you’re bringing goods into Northern Ireland from outside the UK and the EU, you will pay the UK duty rate if your goods are ‘not at risk’ of onward movement to the EU. If they are at risk of onward movement to the EU, use the Northern Ireland Online Tariff.
Commodity codes are internationally recognised reference numbers. A commodity code describes a specific product when importing or exporting goods. You will use this code on any customs declarations.
You need to know the details about your product and must accurately describe your item to use the search tool. This may include:
If you have an item made of 2 substances (for example, clothing that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester), you'd normally classify the item using the higher percentage content. There are exceptions, so check the relevant section and chapter notes for your goods in the tool.
These steps will help you get started:
Enter the search term you want to use – an item may not be listed by name, it may come under what it’s used for or made from.
The tool will suggest a section or number of sections, divided into chapters.
The headings in each chapter describe a product, only select a sub-heading if your item is accurately described.
If your item is not accurately described, check further down the list – if none of the sub-headings match your item use the ‘other’ heading.
