Tariffs on goods imported into the UK

Although very little stainless is imported from Russia or Belarus directly, this additional tariff may impact on the import duties via distributors or agents with access to Russian or Belarussian stocks or mills.

The import tariff is 35% valid from 25^th March for any goods not already cleared.

The UK Global Tariff (UKGT) applies to all goods imported into the UK unless:

• the country you’re importing from has a trade agreement with the UK
• an exception applies, such as a relief or tariff suspension
• the goods come from developing countries covered by the Generalised Scheme of Preferences

Importing goods covered by a tariff-rate quota

Some products are covered by a tariff-rate quota (TRQ).

If there’s a TRQ for your product, you can apply to import a limited amount at a zero or reduced rate of customs duty.  If this limit is exceeded, a higher tariff rate applies.

Some tariff-rate quotas are only applicable to products imported from a specified country.

Check the TRQs for specific products, including volume limits and authorised uses.
