The Estimator provides information related to the type of alcohol selected from the drop-down list below. The Estimator cannot be used to determine which category alcoholic products fall within for the purpose of duty classification.

The information provided by the Estimator is an estimate, not a precise calculation of duty owing.

Not all excisable products are included in the calculator (for example, cider). If your product is not showing as an option, refer to the Excise and Excise-equivalent Duties Table on the Working Tariff page for full details of all excisable alcoholic goods.

Contact us if you require assistance identifying the classifications or duty rates for your products.
