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

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.
Country of origin Trade agreements, sanctions and extra measures can change the treatment of the very same code.
Current tariff measures Check today's rate, any restrictions or licences, and the quantity customs asks for, with Toldstyrelsen or TARIC.

What to do now for an import

The code is settled. What is left is the import declaration around it.

Choose the 10-digit import line Find the EU wording that matches the goods, and read the whole line before you pick it. 3 options Go to this section
State the country of origin: it decides the rate, sanctions and documents The same code can be charged and treated differently depending on where the goods were made.
State the quantity in number of items The declaration asks for it on top of the value and the net mass.
Check today's requirements in TARIC Rates, quotas and document requirements change. The EU's own database is the current source. Open the EU TARIC database

Check it before you file This is a suggestion, please verify it against your own product.

On an EU import declaration

Pick the 10-digit line that matches the goods.

3 import lines

When these goods are imported into the EU, the declaration needs a 10-digit code. Under 8708 95 10 the EU tariff has 3 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.

Match the whole wording A line is its own wording plus the grouping text above it. Read both before you settle on one.

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.

This is the catch-all under 8708 95: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.

Within the parent group of airbags with inflators and their parts, this code covers the goods intended for industrial assembly of the specified vehicles, rather than the goods covered by the sibling codes for non-industrial assembly or drop-forged steel.

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
+46 origins

These rates apply to Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; GSP-EBA (Special arrangement for the least-developed countries - Everything But Arms); OCTs (Overseas Countries and Territories); GSP - General arrangements except India; GSP+ (incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance).

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:

Iraq
Syria
Ukraine
any country
North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)
Libya
Russian Federation
Belarus

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.
