The Corridor Score is Entrida's deterministic 0–100 measure of corridor opportunity per HS chapter, computed from HMRC import values, year-on-year growth and the tariff preference margin. Movement compares against the 2024 ranking. How the score works (methodology v1)

Methodology v1
How the Corridor Score works
Every chapter's score is computed from the same three components — no judgement calls, no black box. The same inputs always produce the same index, and the scoring code is unit-tested for determinism.
- Import value — 40%
- UK import value from Türkiye for the chapter (HMRC, calendar year 2025), relative to the largest ranked chapter on a logarithmic scale.
- Growth — 30%
- Year-on-year change in import value (2025 vs 2024), clamped to ±50%. Chapters without a usable previous-year value sit at the neutral midpoint.
- Tariff advantage — 30%
- The margin between the UK Global Tariff (MFN) rate and the Türkiye preferential rate, read from the UK Trade Tariff for one representative heading per chapter; a 10-percentage-point margin scores the full component.
Sources: HMRC overseas trade statistics (chapter-level import values, updated weekly), the UK Trade Tariff (tariff rates), and GOV.UK (trade agreement status).
Tariff preference rates spot-checked against the UK Trade Tariff as of August 2026; confirm the current rate for your HS code on trade-tariff.service.gov.uk.
