Official tariff text
Parts of machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, of cast iron or cast steel, n.e.s.
This is the catch-all under 8479 90: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
Within the parent group for parts of machines with their own function, this is where the cast-iron or cast-steel parts remain after excluding the specifically named component-placement-machine parts and the parts made from other materials.

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.
