What measure types are
Measure types tell border systems how to execute an action, such as charge a duty.
The data associated with a measure type explains what the measure is intended to do.
On top of that, HMRC carries out a significant amount of work to make measures behave as intended.
Any changes to measures or additions of new measures must be agreed by HMRC in advance. Measure types must be actively correlated to regulation group IDs by HMRC in CDS.
Measure type series
Each measure belongs to a single measure type. In turn, each measure type belongs to a single measure type series.
The measure type series stores extra information about the measure type and its behaviour.
The measure type series allows more than one way of overlaying measure types and duties via combination and exclusion.
Measure type combinations
The measure type combination field determines how many measure types of a given type series can be applied on a trader’s declaration at any time to the same context.
There are 2 options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Only 1 measure at export and 1 at import from the series |
| 1 | All measure types in the series to be considered |
If the measure type combination is set to 0, it means a trader can only take advantage of one measure type from any given series.
It does not mean tariff managers can only set up a single measure type from each measure type series in the same context.
For example, the commodities 8802110010, 8802120010, 8802200010, 8802300010 and 8802400010 have 103 (Third country duty) and 105 (Non-preferential duty under end-use) applied to the same context.
It is possible for a trade agreement to feature both a tariff preference and a preferential quota on the same context (commodity code). A trader can only select one of these.
The measure type series identifies how different measures are applied alongside each other or overlaid. You cannot apply more than one measure from the same series, but more than one measure from different series can be overlaid.
For example, anti-dumping duties (series D) are overlaid on top of MFN duties (series C). The 2 co-exist, are additive and the trader does not need to choose one.
Existing measure type series
The following table shows how TARIC-based border systems apply the measures that DIT has supplied.
The alphabetical sequence of measure type series is the sequence in which CDS will look to implement the measures.
| SID | Measure Type Combination | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 0 | Importation and/or exportation prohibited |
| B | 1 | Entry into free circulation or exportation subject to conditions |
| C | 0 | Applicable duty |
| D | 1 | Anti-dumping or countervailing duties |
| E | 0 | Levies, export refunds and other agricultural amounts |
| F | 0 | Additional duty on sugar, flour |
| G | 0 | Monetary compensatory amount |
| H | 0 | Accession compensatory amount |
| J | 1 | Countervailing charge |
| K | 0 | Reference price |
| L | 0 | Complementary trade mechanism |
| M | 0 | Unit price, standard import value, representative price (poultry, sugar) |
| N | 1 | Posterior surveillance |
| O | 0 | Supplementary unit |
| P | 0 | VAT |
| Q | 0 | Excises |
| R | 0 | Provisional exclusion |

Any complete prohibitions are dealt with first. These are dealt with via measures of type series A (Importation and/or exportation prohibited). If there is a complete prohibition that applies to the specific circumstances of the trade, such as the combination of commodity and origin, the trade cannot continue.
If there is no complete prohibition on the trade, the second step is to work out if the trader has the necessary conditions in place, such as certification or licensing, to allow the trade to pass (type series B).
These 2 measure type series apply equally to imports and exports.
Thirdly, after application of the prohibitions and restrictions, measure type series C is checked (applicable duty).
Series C contains the MFN duties, tariff preferences, all the quotas and all the suspensions. The trader must select one.
Series D contains the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties. Of these, if more than one applies to a given context, then both apply. For example both an anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duty on the same code for the same company. The trader does not get to choose the lower.
Series E and F contain Meursing duties.
Series J is the countervailing charge series. The countervailing charge measure in this group is no longer used. This leaves 695 (additional duties) and 696 (additional duties (safeguard)). .
Series M features measure types associated with agricultural safeguards, not duties. For example, the standard import value and unit price.
N and O are not duty related. The next duty-bearing series are VAT and excise (series P and Q), which are applied over and above import duties.
Series S contains the additional duties required by agricultural safeguards in relation to chicken and other poultry goods. These are applied over and above any standard duty from series C.

Measure type fields
| Field | |
|---|---|
| measure.type.id | The unique ID of the measure type, as referenced in the measure. This is always exactly 3 digits long. For measure types sourced from the EU, this is a numeric string; for UK national measures (VAT, excise and national P&R, this is a 3-digit alphabetical string). |
| validity.start.date | The date from which a measure type is valid |
| validity.end.date | The date on which a measure type is terminated – suggestion is that this gets left as NULL unless absolutely required to change |
| trade.movement.code | Determines if the measure type is intended to be attached to an import or export (or both). Possible values are: 0 Import – majority of measure types concern import, as the tariff primarily deals with import 1 Export – most of these are export controls (e.g. sanctions) 2 Import/export – there are very few measure types which are applicable to both import and export |
| origin.dest.code | This field is an exact duplicate of trade.movement.code (above), but it is required in Taric. Also, ignore the definition of the options that are listed in the Taric Elements guide: it is wrong – there are three options that are possible, as above: 0 Import 1 Export 2 Import/export – (omitted in the Elements guide) |
| priority.code | This appears to be a redundant field, as literally all EU-sourced measure types have a priority.code of “1” – if we are managing measure types in the Tariff Application, we should use always set the value to 1. There are national measure types (set in CHIEF) that have a priority.code of 5. |
| measure.component.applicable.code | Determines if measure components (or measure condition components) can be attached to this measure type – things like 3rd country duty (103) and preferential tariff quota (143) require measure components, whereas things like import / export controls must not have them (e.g. Veterinary control 410). This rule needs to be checked when creating measures |
| order.number.capture.code | Determines whether a quota order number should be assigned to a measure of this type: there are two options: 1 Mandatory – e.g. 122 (Non preferential quota), 143 (Preferential quota) 2 Not permitted – e.g. 142 (Tariff preference) This rule needs to be checked when creating measures |
| measure.explosion.level | This field determines how far down the hierarchy a measure can be ‘exploded’ according to the less than helpful elements guide. Essentially this means that the number of digits in the hierarchy to which measures of this type can be assigned. Always set this to 10 for import measures and to 8 for export measures (in declaring exports, traders are only required to declare at 8 digit level). |
| measure.type.series.id | The ID of the series – single alphabetical character; acts as foreign key into the measure type series table, where additional properties that relate to the execution of the measure types is set. |
