United Kingdom Import Duty Structure Overview
Since the implementation of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), imports from France generally qualify for zero tariffs provided they meet specific Rules of Origin requirements. For goods that do not meet these criteria, the UK Global Tariff (UKGT) sets the applicable rates. SME importers must also account for Import VAT and potential excise duties depending on the product category.
