The DCTS measures on one commodity code was mistakenly deleted on 2 December. 0808309000 is missing the enhanced and standard DCTS preference as of 1 January 2026. We are monitoring to check the correct preference options will be available throughout 2026. Please also be aware there have been some recent changes to DCTS standard preferences for India and Indonesia. Please see the following guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/trading-with-developing-nations https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/developing-countries-trading-scheme-dcts-goods-graduation-notice |
Suggested action
On the affected commodity code, the MFN duty rate is the same as the standard/enhanced DCTS preference duty rate so the MFN rate can be declared in place of DCTS with no adverse effect to trade. |
