The gov.uk website to check country documentary requirements together with Duty and VAT Rates based on the Commodity Code has changed for the European Union. 

Previously the user could select an individual EU Member States as the destination country. This is no longer possible. Unfortunately, it is not possible to search using the terms “EU” or “European Union”

 

From the Link “Here is a full listing of supported countries and territories” it is then possible to select EU-European Union Here you will find the three tabs. General Information on the EU, How to get your goods out of the UK, How to get your goods into the EU.

 

To check the Duty and VAT, click on Search for your goods, and enter the relevant Commodity Code. The Duty shown is the MFN, Most Favoured Nation Rate but details are provided on the Preferential Origin rule.

 

Duty Conforms across all EU Member States but the VAT Rate is country specific. With this update all country VAT Rates are listed (including the UK).

 

The CHEG website remains the same, https://www.check-duties-customs-exporting-goods.service.gov.uk/selectdest
