Final code reached

Frozen loin and pieces of loin from domestic pigs

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 0203 29 13 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers loin and pieces of loin from domestic pigs when frozen. The product must be loin or a piece of loin, rather than another frozen pork cut.

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.

Classify your own product, free Look up the current rates and rules
  1. 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.
  2. Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
  3. Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
