UK Import Duty & Landed Cost Calculator

Estimate the possible cost of importing goods into the United Kingdom. Enter product value, shipping, insurance, broker fees, units, selling price and a commodity code when available.

The calculator can try to use official UK tariff data for supported 10-digit commodity codes. If official data cannot be loaded or a simple rate cannot be detected, you can use editable duty and VAT rates.

Review the methodology, sources and limits

Import Cost Guide is an estimation tool, not customs, tax or legal advice. Before relying on an estimate for a commercial shipment, verify the final commodity code, duty rate, VAT treatment and import requirements with official sources or a qualified professional.
