Classification checks for toys
HS 950300 is a broad six-digit toys provision. National tariff lines divide dolls, construction sets, wheeled toys, puzzles, models and many other products, so the detailed product description matters.
- What type of toy is it?
- Is it a set containing several articles?
- Do age, safety or material rules affect import requirements?
Worked import-cost example
This illustration uses £1,000.00 of goods, £75.00 shipping and £25.00 insurance. The illustration treats goods, shipping and insurance as the planning customs value.
| Scenario | Rate | Duty | Import tax | Illustrative total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest evidenced line | 0% | £0.00 | £220.00 | £1,320.00 |
| Highest evidenced line | 4% | £44.00 | £228.80 | £1,372.80 |
Tax limitation: Standard UK VAT is used for the illustration. The product may instead be reduced-rated, zero-rated or exempt.
Change the shipment values or origin
The estimator can compare the base line with any imported preference or trade-measure evidence.
You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.
Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.
How this was worked out
Duty basis: loading duty data.
VAT/GST basis: loading VAT/GST data
Extra duties are included only where the available data matches this product and route.
Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
