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
4104 49 19 00
When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration uses the 10-digit form 4104491900: 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.

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.
Data of Sept. 1, 2026
Customs also asks for the quantity in number of items
Required
The declaration asks for the actual quantity in number of items. It replaces neither the net mass nor the value: those come on top.
Example: if the quantity in number of items is 24, the declaration carries the number 24 in that field.
Lower duty for goods from some countries
Possible
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in:
- Andorra
- San Marino
- Türkiye
- European Union
- Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe
- Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia
- Western Sahara
- European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway
- +45 origins
These rates apply to Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories).
Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.

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
- Invoice declaration or origin declaration made out by any exporter on invoice or any other commercial document
- Movement certificate EUR.1
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 2 conditions
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 these conditions
- Declared goods do not belong to the Washington Convention (CITES)
- Presentation of the required "CITES" certificate
