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 Indonesia; any country except Indonesia; Türkiye.

The duty depends on the producer or exporter, so two shipments of the same goods can be charged differently.

Lower duty for goods from some countries

Preferential rates exist for goods originating in San Marino; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); Ivory Coast; 50 more origins.
