The Business Link website has launched a free online version of the UK Trade Tariff.
The site will give access to the 64,000 commodity codes that cover every product imported and exported from the UK.
Features include a browse and search facility that allows users to classify goods and quickly find detailed information such as commodity descriptions, duty rates, anti-dumping duties, quotas. VAT and excise rates, preferential agreements, government controls and explanatory notes for any commodity in the UK Tariff.
There are daily data updates from the European Union's TARIC database and the HMRC Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight System.
