The TARIC categories are EU-wide, based on the Harmonized System 
Nomenclature.

They don't set it, they administer it.

The EU has everything to say about duty rates - we're 'harmonized' with 
the rest of Europe.  VAT varies by country, and the UK has the fourth 
lowest standard rate (Luxembourg, Cyprus and Spain are lower).  We also 
have more xero-rated items (food, medicine, books ...) than most.
