Import Duty Rates from China

Have had a scour round on HMRC website and Googled to see if I can find any way of getting import duty rates.

I am looking to ascertain the amount of import duty that is applicable to power garden tools, i.e. lawn mowers, patio blowers, strimmers etc.

Any help gladly received, :beer:

    Not sure if you can do this online but you can phone 01702 366077 and the people there will give you commodity codes, they can then transfer you to another line where armed with the codes they will tell you the duty rate. If you do make an order it is a good idea to ask your suppliers to put the commodity codes on the AWB to smooth their clearance at customs.

    Thanks, have just spoken to them and got commodity codes. Excellent idea re the suppliers putting on the AWB. Cheers :beer:
