Other acrylic polymers in unworked form
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. There is no further code choice to make below it.
This code covers acrylic polymers in unworked form that are not poly(methyl methacrylate) or one of the specifically listed acrylic polymers and copolymers covered by other codes. The product must therefore be an acrylic polymer in unworked form and not match one of those listed products.
For example
- An acrylic polymer in unworked form, other than the specifically listed products

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 Korea, Republic of (South Korea); any country except Korea, Republic of (South Korea); Türkiye.
The duty depends on the producer or exporter, so two shipments of the same goods can be charged differently.
This is recorded on a more detailed code below this one, so it may not cover your goods.

Lower duty for goods from some countries
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in Andorra; San Marino; Türkiye; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; Western Sahara; 52 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.

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.
