Customs code · HS subheading 6804 21

Final code reached

Standalone grinding, polishing

Dressing or cutting wheels and similar goods made of agglomerated natural or synthetic diamonds

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 covers millstones, grinding stones, wheels and similar goods without a stand, used for grinding, polishing, dressing or cutting, when they are made of agglomerated natural or synthetic diamonds. It does not cover hand-use sharpening or polishing stones or grinding wheels and similar goods specially made for dental drills.

For example

  • A standalone grinding wheel made of agglomerated synthetic diamonds
  • A standalone polishing wheel made of agglomerated natural diamonds
  • A diamond dressing stone made of agglomerated synthetic diamonds
See the official tariff text

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.

4 import lines

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 6804 21 00 the EU tariff has 4 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.

  1. Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.
  2. Check the intended use On some lines the lower rate belongs to what the goods will be used for, not to the goods alone.
  3. Confirm the authorisation Where the lower rate carries conditions, customs asks for an authorisation before it can be used.

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.

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.

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 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
  • Information document accompanying shipments of waste as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 – Article 18 and Annex VII
  • Movement document as mentioned in Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 – Article 5 and Annex IB
