HMRC has updated certain Commodity Codes for imports into GB. You’ll find the list hereafter to check your internal records to maintain your compliance level. This does not apply to Northern Ireland.
Customs Classification: Commodity Codes
Classification has to be carried out by applying the General Interpretation Rules (GRI). Various online tools available (including HMRC) are only a facilitation mechanism. The GRI is the legal process to classify a product. Classification is also not a way to reduce import duty, there are other means to obtain reliefs and reductions.
