China to United Kingdom is a third-country movement. Our sanctions register has no reviewed coverage for China, so the answer shows the gap instead of assuming ordinary treatment.
TR-GB-CN-DD55CCBuyer in United Kingdom → Supplier in China · 품목 미지정Third-country import into United Kingdom
China to United Kingdom crosses a customs border. A customs declaration is filed on entry and the importer needs a GB EORI number.
China outside our sanctions register's reviewed coverage
Our country-level register holds no programme for China, but it lists only measures we have reviewed and is not exhaustive: silence here is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that no measure exists. UK (OFSI) binds this lane, so their measures on China have to be checked at the authority before anyone relies on this.
Check the China country measures at each binding authority (UK (OFSI)) · Screen the supplier, its owners, the consignee and the end user
No agreement found in our register
Our register of blocs and selected bilateral agreements has no entry covering China and United Kingdom. It is not exhaustive (for example it does not yet hold the EEA, the EU-Switzerland agreements or RCEP), so this is not a finding that no agreement exists or that MFN duty applies; check the WTO database before pricing.
Check the WTO RTA database for the exact pair · Add the exact HS code
Import VAT 20% in United Kingdom, GB EORI number required

Add the exact HS code for the duty rate
Goods not specified
Without the exact HS or CN code neither duty nor product rules can be established.
Add the exact HS or CN code · Describe the product

Before contracting, verify the China supplier at the registry. Selling the other way? Can a buyer in China import from United Kingdom?
