The Commodity Code will also advise you if duty is suspended, if you need a licence to ship your goods and if your goods are covered by any policies and tariff quotas.   You can view more information and look up commodity codes on the government website, [here](https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff).   Whilst Brexit is presenting all companies with challenges, we continue to work closely with our clients and remain fully committed to supporting you with your shipping requirements.
