Commodity Code for Amazon Kindle-UK HM Revenue and Customs. Import Info

General (non-technical) Off-Topic
#1

Hi,

This may help anybody in the UK who has bought a Kindle Fire from the US.

I have bought an Amazon Kindle Fire from ebay for development use.
This has been intercepted by the UK Border Agency (which is fine).

I have had to complete an Import Form.

I think the commodity code box should be filled in with the number 847 41 0090

Cheers

Nick

Other portable computers

Portable computers that don’t meet the above requirements can include touch screen, luggable and industrial computers. There’s no maximum weight, but they must include at least the following within the same housing:

a CPU
an input unit
an output unit

A touch screen usually counts as both an input and an output unit.

These types of portable computer are classified under subheading code 8471 41 00 90. [import]uid: 50787 topic_id: 19553 reply_id: 319553[/import]

Sorry to hear that it got intercepted - but glad to hear all is fine.

Thanks for sharing this info, I’m sure it will come in very handy for other UK devs in the future :slight_smile:
