Final code reached

Other esters of inorganic non-metal acids

Their salts and related derivatives, not otherwise specified

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU, pick a 10-digit line below.

This code covers esters of inorganic acids of non-metals, their salts, and their halogen-, sulfo-, nitro- or nitroso-derivatives that are not otherwise specified here. It excludes the product groups named separately in this heading, including sulfuric- and carbonic-acid esters, phosphite esters, thiophosphates, endosulfan and mercury components.

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.

On an EU import declaration

Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.

9 import lines

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 2920 90 70 the EU tariff has 9 lines, each with its own wording.

You or your customs agent pick the line whose wording fits the goods; the last line, "Other", covers what none of the specific wordings describe.

  1. Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.

A suspension is a lower rate the EU grants for specific products; whether your goods qualify depends on the line's wording and conditions.

Exports from the EU and Intrastat normally use the 8-digit code as it is.

EU tariff data of Sept. 13, 2026.

This is the catch-all under 2920 90: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

This is the remainder for the parent group: goods within its scope that are not the sulfuric- or carbonic-acid esters, thiophosphates, phosphite esters, endosulfan or other product classes named by the sibling codes.

Rates, origin and documents

Read the signals first. Open only the ones you want to check.

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.
