Here is an overview of the sections and chapters used in the WCO Harmonized System (HS). The same format is used by the European Union in the Combined Nomenclature (CN). For import and export customs declarations, commodities need to be classified in the Combined Nomenclature. The Taric Support application provides you with all the information you need for accurate classification.
The Taric Support application contains the trade tariffs of the European Union (TARIC), the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium. It is ideally suited to organisations preparing for Brexit.
In the Taric Support application you will find:
- Current import duties for third countries and tariff preferences
- VAT, excise duty and consumption tax information
- All import and export measures, including rates, codes, additional codes and footnotes
- Explanatory Notes concerning the WCO Harmonized System
- Annotations and Explanatory Notes of the EU Combined Nomenclature
- Anti-dumping duties and other anti-dumping regulations
- Dual-use information for strategic goods
- Information about tariff quotas
- Information contained in the Netherlands Customs Tariff Facilities (DTV)
- Correlation tables
- Classification regulations and other legislation
- Binding tariff information (BTI / EBTI)
