Mobility Scooters: Import Duties
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the revenue raised by the ten percent tariff imposed on the import of mobility scooters.
Answered by James Murray
Mobility scooters that are imported into the UK are classified under the description of ‘Vehicles specially designed for travelling on snow, golf cars and similar vehicles’. The commodity code for this classification is 8703101800. There is a customs duty tariff rate of 10% on imports for this commodity code.
Analysis of management information shows around £6m of customs duty liabilities was recorded for commodity code 8703101800 in 2023/24. This estimate applies to all types of vehicles imported under this commodity code and is not specific to Mobility Scooters only.
