## What it means for a shop owner

The rate depends on the type of goods and the country of origin, and it changes with government decisions. Add it into the item cost so you price correctly. Ask a customs agent before buying.

## A worked example

Goods worth 5000 with an 8 percent duty as an example add 400 to the cost.
