It’s likely that over the coming weeks, many traders will see error code CDS40066 as a result of updates to the commodity code structure where some codes are being added, changed or merged.
To support traders who are uncertain which commodity code applies to their goods, HMRC has implemented a Tariff Tool to search for commodity codes and look up the respective import measures, including duties, taxes and controls.
You can either fill in the search bar for a comprehensive list of relevant duties and commodity codes or use the A-Z tool in the banner to look for things that are not named commodities in the Tariff (shown below in the image). For example, laptops are ‘Portable automatic data-processing machines, weighing not more than 10 kg, consisting of at least a central processing unit, a keyboard and a display’.
