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.

Selling to Norway, Great Britain and the United States
Norway, Great Britain and the United States use their own tariff lines under the 6-digit HS code. The rates below are what their customs charge on goods arriving from the EU. Match the goods against each country's own wording before you rely on a rate.

Before you use 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.
On an EU import declaration
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.

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
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
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in:
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.

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.
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.
One last classification check

Worth comparing
Codes that sit close to this one, for when the material itself could be different.
That code names ferrite cores for transformers and induction coils, rather than metal permanent magnets or magnet blanks.
That code covers the same type of metal permanent magnets and magnet blanks, but excludes those containing neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium or samarium.
Duty rates shown here are estimates, read from official EU / Danish, Norwegian and UK tariff data for orientation only. Confirm the current rate with Toldstyrelsen, TARIC, Norwegian Customs or the UK Online Trade Tariff before you file. The rate you pay can also depend on the country of origin. These are base customs duties only: import VAT, excise duties, anti-dumping duties and safeguard or quota measures are not included.
