The spaces only make the code easier to read. Customs declarations normally use the unspaced form, 30032000.
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.
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in Andorra, San Marino, Türkiye, European Union, Western Sahara, OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories), Switzerland, Algeria and 11 more origins.
