Import duties

Anyone have experience of importing electrical items from the states and can tell me what the duty rates are?

The .gov site is a little less than helpful.

You need to kind of find what the best match is here: UK Integrated Online Tariff: Look up commodity codes, duty and VAT rates - GOV.UK

Problem is that amps are different to headphones which are different to recorders, etc.

Iā€™d be minded to use:-

Classification Food grinders and mixers; fruit or vegetable juice extractors

If you havenā€™t already, try ā€˜blenderā€™, ā€˜food millā€™, ā€˜food blenderā€™ or ā€˜beverage applianceā€™ as search terms, the categories are often ambiguous, and a closest approximation should serve the purpose.

Yay! HMRC: ā€œMaking everything a nightmare so we can you fine you for itā€.

8509 4000 00 seems appropriate.

Edit: I see others beat me to it. :skull:
