UK Trade Tariff Commodity Code Scraper

UK Trade Tariff Commodity Code Scraper pulls structured data from UK Trade Tariff (HMRC) and returns it as a clean dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. It searches the UK Trade Tariff by product keyword and returns matching commodity codes with their description, chapter, heading and section, plus the date the code became valid, which is what customs paperwork and import sheets need.

No API key, no login. Click Start and it works with the prefilled input.

What does UK Trade Tariff Commodity Code Scraper do?

How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per result item pushed to the dataset, and nothing for an empty run. Each run is a few seconds of compute, so typical costs are fractions of a cent per run, and the Apify free tier covers plenty of testing.

Tips and advanced options

• Raise maxResults for a bigger pull; the Actor pages through the source for you.
• Schedule it (e.g. every morning) and combine with a webhook to get only the new records.
• Add the Actor to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server for natural-language queries.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

• Is this legal? It uses publicly available data from UK Trade Tariff (HMRC). You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with the source's terms.
• It returned nothing? Try a product keyword such as honey, wine, bicycles or laptop.
• Something broken? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Data sources change and get fixed quickly.
• Need a custom variant (extra fields, a different source, a scheduled report)? Get in touch through the Issues tab.
