Trade measures to be aware of

Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.

  • Extra duty on goods from some countries

    Trade-defence measures, such as anti-dumping duty, may apply to goods originating in Türkiye; any country except Türkiye.

    This is recorded on a more detailed code below this one, so it may not cover your goods.
