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 EU import declaration
Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.
3 import lines
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 3205 00 00 the EU tariff has 3 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.
Some lines depend on what the goods will be used for and need customs authorisation; matching the wording alone does not give a lower rate.
- Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.
- Check the intended use On some lines the lower rate belongs to what the goods will be used for, not to the goods alone.
- Confirm the authorisation Where the lower rate carries conditions, customs asks for an authorisation before it can be used.

Restrictions and paperwork
Important
Import restrictions are recorded for goods originating in:
- Ukraine
- any country
The EU records document conditions on this code. What customs may ask for depends on where the goods come from, exactly what the product is and the customs procedure.
Proof of origin 2 conditions
If you claim a lower rate for goods from a country the EU has a trade agreement with, customs asks for proof of origin, for example a EUR.1 certificate or an origin declaration.
Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
- Movement certificate EUR.1
- Invoice declaration or origin declaration made out by any exporter on invoice or any other commercial document
Sanctions and restricted regions 2 conditions
Some conditions come from EU sanctions rules. They matter when the goods are linked to a country or region the EU restricts trade with.
Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
- Goods not originating from or destined to Crimea or Sevastopol (Articles 2 and 2b.1 of Council Regulation (EU) No 692/2014)
- Goods not originating from or not destined for the non-government controlled areas of Ukraine in the oblasts of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia
Product controls and permits 1 condition
Depending on the exact product, customs may ask for a licence, a permit or a control certificate before the goods are released.
Show the EU's own wording for this condition
- Notification document as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 - Article 5 and Annex IA
Other conditions 3 conditions
These conditions match none of the groups above. Whether customs asks for one depends on the goods, where they come from and the customs procedure.
Show the EU's own wording for these conditions
- Product not subjected to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2024/1157
- Movement document as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 – Article 5 and Annex IB
