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.

Before you use the code
Check the facts that sit outside the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
- The product and its form Check that your product really matches this description, including what it is made of and the form it arrives in.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with SKAT or TARIC.

Often confused with
-
3818 00 19
Silicon doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers, cylinders, rods or similar forms, whether or not polished or with a uniform epitaxial coating (excl. elements that have been further processed, e.g. by selective diffusion, and "photovoltaic" rectangular wafers of a thickness <=200μm)
Duty free*
This code specifically covers rectangular photovoltaic wafers with a thickness <=200μm; 3818 00 19 expressly excludes that type and covers other doped silicon forms.
-
3818 00 90
Chemical elements and compounds doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers, cylinders, rods or similar forms, or cut into discs, wafers or similar forms, whether or not polished or with a uniform epitaxial coating (excl. elements that have been further processed, e.g. by selective diffusion, and doped silicon)
Duty free*
This code is for doped silicon wafers of the stated photovoltaic rectangular type, while 3818 00 90 excludes doped silicon and covers other doped chemical elements and compounds.
Duty rates shown here are estimates, read from official EU / Danish, Norwegian and UK tariff data for orientation only. Confirm the current rate with SKAT, TARIC, Norwegian Customs or the UK Online Trade Tariff before you file. The rate you pay can also depend on the country of origin. These are base customs duties only: import VAT, excise duties, anti-dumping duties and safeguard or quota measures are not included.
