Final code reached
Steel tanks, drums, barrels and similar containers under 50 l, with wall thickness >= 0.5 mm
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. There is no further code choice to make below it.
This code covers iron or steel tanks, drums, barrels, pails and similar containers for any material, with a capacity of < 50 l and wall thickness >= 0.5 mm. They must not be for compressed or liquefied gases, have mechanical equipment or heating or cooling equipment, or be cans designed for soldered or seamed closure.
For example
- A steel drum with a capacity of < 50 l and wall thickness >= 0.5 mm, not for compressed or liquefied gas, without mechanical equipment or heating or cooling equipment, and not a can designed for soldered or seamed closure.
- A steel pail with a capacity of < 50 l and wall thickness >= 0.5 mm, for a material other than compressed or liquefied gas, without mechanical equipment or heating or cooling equipment, and not designed for soldered or seamed closure.

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 China; any country except China; 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.

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.
