Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure that goods imported from China pay appropriate import duties.

As the customs authority, HMRC works alongside Border Force to ensure that border processes are as smooth as possible, whilst targeting cross-border threats. HMRC uses a risk based and intelligence-led response focusing compliance interventions on tackling the goods and traders that represent highest risks to revenue, the UK economy and wider society, and our international reputation.

HMRC has provided support on GOV.UK to help importers understand the import procedures they need to follow and the duty they need to pay (including on goods from China).
