What is the value for Duty?

Customs assess the amount of Duty to be paid based on the declared value of the goods plus the transport costs to the country of destination.

Example of duty calculation

  • Goods = 2 special edition ‘The Greatest 70’s Dance Hits’ CD sets
  • Value of goods = £80 +
  • Transport to the UK = £35.

Total value for Duty = £115 x 3.5% Duty = Total Duty payable £4.02
