This code covers raw mixtures of vegetable oils that are not edible and are intended for technical or industrial use. It does not cover mixtures intended for making food.
For example

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.
- 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.
- Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
- Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.
On an import declaration
1518 00 31 00
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration uses the 10-digit form 1518003100: this code with 00 added. There is no further split under it.
Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.
