Tariffs to trade with the UK from 1 January 2021. __This page has been replaced with a newer page offering CSV and ODS versions of the tariff datasets__
[The new page is Tariffs to trade with the UK from 1st January 2021](https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/2af878bc-f302-49fd-98ef-9d1f4a63a318/tariffs-to-trade-with-the-uk-from-1-january-2021)

This dataset shows current UK import tariffs and historic versions applied since 1 January 2021.

It lists preferential measures where the UK has entered into a new trade agreement or arrangement with a third country or territory. For other countries and territories, it shows the UK's Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs. 

The dataset does not include other import duties (such as VAT) and details of quota volumes.

# Notes on use

For guidance on the content of the data and how to interpret it, see the [Tariff Data Manual](https://github.com/uktrade/tariff-data-manual).

There are 4 datasets available, which show the same underlying data in two formats:

## Full Tariff

This table shows all duties and commodities being applied to the UK Tariff.

## Measures on declarable commodities

This is series of tables separated into sections that show the measures that apply to all declarable commodity codes.

These are 10-digit codes, which are at the lowest level in the commodity code hierarchy (as in they do not have any commodity codes below them in the hierarchy) This means they are at the most granular classification for that product.

Any codes in these tables are usable on declarations at the rates specified.

You can find which section you need on the [UK Integrated Online Tariff](https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/browse).

## Measures as defined

This is a smaller table showing where in the commodity code hierarchy each measure is defined. This includes commodity codes which are not declarable.

Codes are organised in a hierarchy, with the 'indent' column identifying the depth of the code.

Measures apply to all of the codes in the hierarchy below where they are defined.

## Commodities

This table shows all the commodity codes used in the Tariff. It includes:

* Specific IDs (SIDs)
* Codes and parent codes
* Code descriptions for the type of commodity
* Validity start and end dates

# Accuracy

Every effort has been made to ensure the tariff information in this dataset is correct. At times, tariffs in this dataset are a representation of future events and as such are subject to change.
