Final code reached

Other vehicle parts and accessories, not drop-forged steel

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. There is no further code choice to make below it.

This code covers parts and accessories not separately named for tractors, passenger and goods vehicles, and special-purpose motor vehicles. The parts must not be made of drop-forged steel and must not belong to one of the specifically named groups in this tariff section.

For example

  • A non-drop-forged-steel engine mounting bracket for a tractor, where the part is not a bumper, seat belt, window, body part, brake, gearbox, axle, wheel, suspension part, radiator, exhaust part, clutch, steering part or airbag part
  • A non-drop-forged-steel fuel-tank support for a goods vehicle, where the part is not one of the specifically named vehicle-part groups

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.

  • 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; 52 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.

  • A limited quantity at a lower rate

    A tariff quota is recorded for this code. This does not say whether any of the quota is still available. It covers goods originating in any country except Belarus and Russian Federation.

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