Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling is a legally binding ruling issued to an importer seeking to gain clarity on a classification matter. This certainty helps you:
Understand your duty rates and landed costs
Ensure any duty relief you apply for meets your needs
Gain certainty as to whether ADD, licensing or other commercial policy measures apply
reclaim overpaid duty when goods have been wrongly classified
There are a number of occasions where there are two (or more) potential commodity codes that a product can be imported under. In most cases, HMRC will seek to apply the code that attracts the most duty. A robustly argued BTI application will maximise your chances of achieving a beneficial ruling.
