A tariff classification code is a six to ten-digit code describing a product on a customs declaration. The code is used to determine the duties and tax which are payable at import/export. A tariff code ensures uniformity of product classification worldwide.
The World Customs Organisation’s (WCO) Harmonised System (HS) provides 6-digit classification codes. The Combined Nomenclature (CN) is extended to 8-digit level by the EU for exports and to 10-digit TARIC level for imports.
There will be changes to some CN codes from 1 January 2023. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1998 refers. The CN is updated annually and the TARIC daily.
