Use the UK import duty calculator for EU to UK shipments
The UK Import Duty & Landed Cost Calculator can be used for goods imported from the European Union into the United Kingdom. Select European Union as the origin and enter your product value, shipping, insurance and fees.
If you know the 10-digit UK commodity code, the calculator can try to use official UK tariff data when a simple duty or VAT rate can be detected. If not, you can still use editable duty and VAT rates as a planning estimate.

What costs should you include?
The value of the goods you are buying from the supplier.
Freight and insurance can affect the customs value used in the estimate.
Duty depends on the commodity code, product details and applicable tariff measures.
Import VAT can be one of the largest parts of the total import cost.
Couriers, brokers and freight forwarders may charge clearance or handling fees.
Dividing landed cost by units helps sellers understand margin before ordering.
Why the commodity code matters for EU to UK imports
The commodity code is one of the most important inputs in a UK import duty estimate. Goods imported from the EU can still need the correct UK commodity code, VAT treatment and import requirements checked.
Do not assume that a product has no duty or no import requirements just because it is shipped from the EU. Treatment can depend on classification, origin status, product details and applicable measures.
When extra checks may be needed
Some EU to UK imports may require checks beyond a simple duty and VAT calculation. The estimate should be treated as a planning tool, not a final customs decision.
- Uncertain commodity code classification.
- Products with possible anti-dumping duties or trade remedies.
- Goods requiring licences, certificates or import controls.
- Products with non-percentage or conditional tariff measures.
- Large commercial orders where a classification error could be costly.
Common EU to UK import cost mistakes
Import VAT, customs handling and other costs may still affect landed cost.
Where goods are shipped from and where they originate for customs purposes may not always be the same.
A correct UK commodity code is still important for estimating duty, VAT treatment and possible controls.
Courier, broker, clearance and final-mile costs can affect the final landed cost per unit.
