Final code reached

Metal permanent magnets containing neodymium

Praseodymium, dysprosium or samarium, excluding holders

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 metal permanent magnets and metal items intended to become permanent magnets after magnetisation when they contain neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium or samarium. It does not cover chucks, clamps, vices or similar holding devices.

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 EU import declaration

Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.

12 import lines

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 8505 11 10 the EU tariff has 12 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.

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:

  • North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)

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)
