If the goods are determined to be at risk of moving into the EU the duty rates and measures applicable under the EU (Common External) Tariff are due and the new codes detailed in Appendix 8 must be used.

Changes to Appendix 8

The code specific to the type of tax due must be entered in DE 4/3 from the following table.

NIP Tax Code Tax Type UK equivalent code
A50 Customs Duty A00
A70 Additional duties A20
A80 Definitive anti-dumping duties (ADD) A30
A85 Provisional anti-dumping duties (ADD) A35

A95 Provisional countervailing duties A45

*Please note 바카라 사이트” VAT tax type B05 covers the VAT due on the EU customs duties (VAT on A50, A80, etc). 바카라 사이트˜At risk바카라 사이트™ items will have both B00 (VAT on the goods item) and B05 (VAT on the EU/NIP duties) calculated and returned to the trader.
