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.

    This is recorded on a more detailed code below this one, so it may not cover your goods.

    Check this code in the official EU TARIC database

  • Lower duty for goods from some countries

    Preferential rates exist for goods originating in Andorra; San Marino; Türkiye; European Union; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; 51 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
