Post-Brexit, the accurate classification of goods using Harmonised System (HS) codes is crucial to determine applicable duties for Polish imports.

Your Firm and VAT When Importing from Poland
It’s important to be aware of your VAT obligations when importing from Poland. Post-Brexit, import VAT must be paid upon entry into the UK but – most importantly – this can be reclaimed as input VAT. Ensure your business is VAT-registered if you meet the threshold or close to it. Utilising VAT deferment accounts can help some importers to manage their cash flow.
Import Duty When Trading with Polish Suppliers
Accurate classification of goods is vital to determine applicable duties under the UK Global Tariff. Excise duties may also apply depending on the commodity. Barrington Freight offers in-house customs clearance services to handle these complexities, ensuring the correct duty assessment is made and compliance rules are met.
