The best way to determine the expected import VAT and duties for a shipment is by running the HS code for each product through this tool
If you run a code through this system you will see the import VAT rate and the rate that HMRC charges for duties, if they do. UPS and customs brokers charge a small administrative fee as well, usually around 20 – 80 GBP depending on the exact shipment and the size of it.
For CBD oils we use HS code 1302.19.70.00 which will have import VAT at 20%, no duties are charged for this HS code.
