Ceramic insulating parts for electrical use

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 8547 10 00 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers parts for electrical machines, appliances or equipment that are used for insulation and are made of ceramic material. The parts must consist entirely of insulating material, apart from moulded simple metal joining parts.

Before you use the code
