Trade measures to be aware of

Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.

Lower duty for goods from some countries

Preferential rates exist for goods originating in United Kingdom and United States. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
