Laboratory Analysis and Tariff Classification Services Event

Tender description

This contract is to provide accurate analysis of certain goods in order for HMRC classifiers to determine the correct commodity code for specific goods based on ingredients, make up, chemical compositions and function. This will determine the duty liability necessary. HMRC has an ongoing requirement for a wide range of analytical and representational services in respect of International & UK Customs Duty and Tax legislation covering an extensive range of products. Commodity codes are issued to traders to allow them to make accurate trading decisions based on the amount of duty payable on their products when importing or exporting. In order to ensure the commodity code issued by the tariff Classification Service is correct, analysis of the product is necessary. This analysis is generally for food stuffs but can be on leather, plastics and a wide range of other materials also. Issuing the correct commodity code ensures HMRC collects the correct revenue and elevates the risk of debt. Lot 1: As described in II.1.4
