Would Import Duty Rate?

Up to $1,600 in goods will be duty-free under your personal exemption if the merchandise is from an IP. Up to $800 in goods will be duty-free if it is from a CBI or Andean country. Any additional amount, up to $1,000, in goods will be dutiable at a flat rate (3%).

How are import duties calculated?

To calculate the estimated duty fee for a shipment where the fee is determined by percentage value, simply multiply the total value of the goods by the percentage that applies to their HTS code, and then divide this figure by 100. For example: You wish to import an order of chopsticks with a value of $10,000.

How much would customs cost?

The current handling fees for import parcels is £12.00 for parcels where the contents value is below £900 (equivalent to €1000). High value goods over the threshold provided by HMRC and the UK Government (currently €1000 / £900), the handling fee is £25.00.
