Customs code · HS subheading 8408 10

Final code reached

New diesel or semi-diesel piston engines for ship or boat propulsion

Over 100 kW and not over 200 kW, excluding specified seagoing vessels, tugboats and warships

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 8408 10 49 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers new compression-ignition piston engines used to propel ships or boats. The engine must have a power over 100 kW but not over 200 kW, and it excludes engines for seagoing vessels under headings 8901 to 8906, tugboats under 8904.00.10 and warships under 8906.00.10.

For example

  • A new 150 kW diesel piston engine for propelling a recreational boat, not a specified seagoing vessel, tugboat or warship
  • A new 200 kW semi-diesel piston engine for propelling a workboat, not a specified seagoing vessel, tugboat or warship

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.

  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 import declaration

8408 10 49 00

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration uses the 10-digit form 8408104900: this code with 00 added. There is no further split under it.

Duty suspension: 0% for ships, boats and drilling platforms

Conditions apply, customs authorisation needed.

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.

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); GSP+ (incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); GSP - General arrangements except India.

Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.

Check this code in the official EU TARIC database

Restrictions and paperwork

Important

Import restrictions are recorded for goods originating in:

  • North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)
  • Ukraine
  • Belarus
  • Russian Federation

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 14 conditions
