The International Trade Single Window continues towards the release of phase two of the project. This involves the launch of 57 new information guides that are aimed at more experienced international traders and a comprehensive up-to-date online Tariff product that is free and available 24/7.
When it is launched at the end of March, users will be able to access the e-tariff on businesslink.gov.uk (Link to an external site - Disclaimer
) and:
- search for commodity codes, associated duties and measures, preferences and quotas;
- bookmark any page within the tariff, save those bookmarks and request email updates when commodity codes and measures change;
- cross-reference to ITSW electronic guidance, aimed at helping new and experienced traders to understand their responsibilities and assist in interpreting and operating the e-tariff.
The e-tariff is currently being system tested with user acceptance testing planned for early March involving representatives from both HMRC and the trade.
