Tariff Calculator: U.S. → U.K. (2026)
U.S. to the U.K. in 2026: the U.S. levies no federal export duty — your cost sits at U.K. customs = duty under the UK Global Tariff (by 10-digit U.K. commodity code, assessed per GOV.UK) + 20% import VAT (basis includes international freight). Goods ≤£135 are duty-free, with import VAT collected by the seller/marketplace at checkout rather than at the border. The calculator below ships prefilled with the U.S. → U.K. simplified regime.
This lane charges in the opposite direction to U.S. imports: the cost lands at U.K. customs, not on the U.S. export side. The calculator runs the simplified regime — import VAT plus the de-minimis call — while the duty itself follows the U.K. official tariff; the simplified regime does not guess the rate.

Simplified regime (U.K.): U.S.-only layers (301/232, MPF/HMF) do not apply on this lane — they attach to entries into the U.S. This page covers U.K. import VAT and de minimis only; duty follows the U.K. official tariff.
Frequently asked questions
What taxes and duties do I pay shipping from the U.S. to the U.K.?
Two layers, both on the U.K. import side: ① duty — assessed under the UK Global Tariff on the 10-digit U.K. commodity code (the simplified regime doesn't guess the rate; the calculator shows the de-minimis call and the official tariff entry point); ② import VAT at 20% — basis = goods value + international freight (this amount is computed directly). The U.S. levies no federal export duty. Enter your code and value above for the VAT amount and the de-minimis call.
How are parcels worth £135 or less treated?
Goods ≤£135: duty-free, and import VAT is collected by the seller/marketplace at the point of sale instead of at the border. Above £135, both VAT and duty are handled at import. Confirm who handles the VAT with your buyer or carrier before choosing DDP/DDU to avoid a surprise bill at clearance.
Which code do I use? How do U.S. HTS codes relate to U.K. commodity codes?
The first 6 digits (HS level) align on both sides; they diverge after that — the U.S. uses 8/10-digit HTS, the U.K. uses 10-digit commodity codes. The calculator uses the HTS code to identify the goods; the U.K. duty itself follows the rate for the U.K. code found in the GOV.UK trade tariff.
What should be on the commercial invoice for U.S.-to-U.K. shipments?
Beyond the standard ten fields, cover this lane's specifics: country of origin (United States), value currency (GBP or USD — the calculator converts at the live rate) and Incoterms; the 10-digit U.K. commodity code when known, and for ≤£135 goods a note that VAT is collected at checkout.
