The UK has introduced new customs tariff rules. They concern the import of goods used to produce offshore wind turbines. The changes aim to reduce import duty.

Introduction

The UK has introduced new customs tariff rules concerning the import of goods used to produce offshore wind turbines. These changes aim to reduce import duty for goods used to produce offshore wind turbines, including cables linking the wind farm to mainland substations and auxiliary and low-voltage systems for incorporation in onshore substations and offshore substations used in offshore wind energy production.

Key Provisions

The new rules amend the definition of “the authorised use document” in regulation 32(2) of the Customs (Special Procedures and Outward Processing) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1249). The new version of this document includes changes to align with EU commodity code updates. Additionally, authorised use measures are introduced to reduce import duty on goods used to produce offshore wind turbines.

Impact on Business

These changes may have a positive impact on businesses involved in the production of offshore wind turbines, as reduced import duty can lead to lower costs and increased competitiveness.
