The EU is a customs union, free trade between 15 member states, and a uniform tariff on imports from countries outside the EU. At present, a unified tariff system has been established within the EU. The United Kingdom is a member of the European Union, implementing the EU's uniform tariffs, and its tariff schedule uses HS commodity codes.
The UK import tax is based on the principle of taxation on a price basis. The invoice value is usually used as the base price for calculating the import tax. A preferential price agreement between an overseas supplier and a UK importer, the UK Customs has the right to evaluate the “fair market value†and then decide whether to impose a tax. Most manufactured goods have a tax rate of 5% to 17%.
Under the Lomé Agreement, the European Union grants GSP treatment to most countries and commodities in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, and exempts almost all semi-finished and manufactured goods from GSP countries. It also adopts a tax-free quota for these goods and provides a certificate of origin. China is a country that enjoys its GSP treatment.
Other taxes are subject to the relevant regulations of the European Union. Value-added tax (VAT) and other taxes are levied in the country where the final destination of the imported goods is located. The EU implements a uniform VAT rate in 15 member states, and all goods, whether imported or locally manufactured, are levied on the principle of non-discrimination. For imported goods, based on the total value of imports (the GIF value of the goods), including freight, insurance and taxes. VAT is levied at customs clearance, and the current standard rate is 17.5%. Exhibits for most exhibitions or imported goods for demonstrations at exhibitions are exempt from VAT.
The United Kingdom implements the WTO conventions on anti-dumping duties and subsidies. The EU has converted the relevant content of this convention into EU law. At present, the United Kingdom imposes an anti-dumping duty of 44.6% on color TVs above 15.5cm in China.
In addition, the UK grants tax reductions and exemptions on imported goods: for example, processing imported products abroad; temporarily imported products such as aircraft and commercial motor vehicles; products that are returned to the exporting country after importation; transit transit products; Clearly identify products for specific situations, such as handicapped supplies, scientific instruments and equipment for international research, etc.; processing and re-exporting products; some products are tax-deductible in the final use.
UK's requirements for safety standards for imported products The British Standards Agency (BSI) is the government department responsible for the development, promulgation and promotion of industrial and consumer product standards, and all production, testing, installation and operation standards for manufactured goods are established. If a standard is duplicated with the existing EU CEN standard, the CEN standard becomes the British standard; if the international standard ISO standard is different from the CEN standard, the ISO standard will prevail and the British national standard will be modified to be consistent with the ISO standard. The UK implements the “standard rules†of the WTO.
Products that meet British Standards can only be referred to as "BS (Code)", but cannot be considered "BS (Code)" unless it has been tested by BSI or its approved laboratory and obtained a certificate.
The seller has the right to attach a “kite†logo or label to the product that has been tested and certified by BSI or its approved laboratory to prove that it has been passed. The kite logo is a highly recognizable vivid logo. Home appliances and electronics also have promotional value.
The manufacturer's test facility must be approved by the National Measurement and Signing System (NAMAS), otherwise the test data will not be approved. NAMAS is a quality assurance system regulated by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, while the NPL is responsible for the harmonization of national measurement systems.
The EU is now harmonizing safety requirements and related standards for industrial products through EU Directives, and implementing national standards during the transition period. After the transition period, the EU's wide “CE†mark will replace it.
Special requirements for electric equipment and motor vehicles in the UK:
Electrical equipment UK and EU standards certification authorities do not recognize the guarantor laboratory (UL) test or certificate issued because it is a non-government agency. Similarly, some test laboratories are approved by the US Federal Communications Commission, and test data from such test laboratories are not procured by UK standards bodies. However, when there is no British national standard, the US industry standard or UL certificate is accepted as the guarantee of product quality. The National Electric Power Manufacturers Association standard is the same as the American Petroleum Institute standard.
Motor vehicle
From July 1, 1997, all imported motor vehicles from countries outside the EU need to be tested and approved one by one. The motor vehicle must meet the British standards for motor vehicles, including exhaust emissions, speed and vehicle lights, not passed. The vehicle cannot be registered.
Mechanical and electrical products that restrict and prohibit imports:
Restricted imports of used agricultural machinery unless all soil and other debris are removed; cordless telephones with a frequency not exceeding 853 MHz unless the import is approved by the DTI Radiocommunication Agency or meets the technical specification MPT1322.
Radiotelephone transmitters for imported products are prohibited from transmitting AM citizens band radios with a frequency of 26.1 to 28 MHz, walkie-talkies, miniature bugs, radio headsets, unless approved by the Radiocommunication Agency, or in the civilian band. Specifications required by MPT1320; equipment for transmitting video images; wrong products with origin identification; trademark infringement products.
Certification Testing Procedures Electric products are generally not authorized by the manufacturer to assume the tasks of the 1994 Motor Product Regulations unless they are authorized by the manufacturer. In general, importers do not have a detailed understanding of what standards/specifications or guidelines are used by manufacturers in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the 1994 electric product regulations do not allow importers to attach CE markings to imported products, draft compliance with EU standards, or prepare technical documents.
The importer must hold one of the “EU Standard Certificatesâ€. The content mainly includes: clarifying the manufacturer or authorized representative; describing the facts about the electric equipment: indicating the safety requirements of the standard or specification of the imported product. The second is "technical documents." The content includes: describing the facts about the electrical equipment; providing information about the design, manufacture and operation; and determining the procedures used to ensure compliance with the safety requirements of the electrical equipment.
Mechanical and safety components Since January 1, 1995, the import of mechanical and safety components must comply with: First, most mechanical products must meet a wide range of health and safety requirements, such as product structure, moving parts and stability; In some cases, type inspection is required by an authorized agency; with the CE mark and other information. Second, the manufacturer or importer must produce technical documents for imported products. Otherwise, mechanical products cannot be legally provided in the UK, and may result in being sued or fined, and if found guilty, the fine can be as much as £5,000 or even three months in prison.
In May 1995, the UK's relevant machinery regulations stipulated that most mechanical and safety components were in compliance with relevant standards or directly in line with EHSRs. The “responsible person†(manufacturer or importer) must provide relevant technical documents. For all mechanical products, the “responsible person†(manufacturer or importer) must draft a “compliance with the standard declarationâ€, attach the CE mark or draft a company statement in accordance with the provisions of Appendix H of the regulation; for all safety components, the “responsible person†must draft Meet the mark statement.
In addition, there are special requirements for mechanical and safety components such as sawtooth machines, plastic and rubber injection molding machines. If these products comply with the relevant standards, the manufacturer or importer must provide technical information to an authorized inspection agency, which will confirm receipt or provide technical information to an authorized inspection agency to demonstrate full compliance with the standards. This technical data is issued with a certificate of conformity or a sample is provided to an authorized inspection agency. To get the EU type test passed.
Inconsistent with British Standards or the absence of such standards in the UK, samples must be provided to an Authorized Inspection Agency for EU type testing.
Other British governments signed and implemented the WTO agreement on government procurement. The purchase price of more than 147,000 US dollars will be open to public bidding for different countries and domestic and foreign manufacturers, and will not discriminate. However, this agreement is not applicable to communications and transportation products.
Documents required for UK import: Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice, Import License, Insurance Certificate, Packing List .
