Product Requirements

Product classification in the EU

Every product traded with the EU is assigned a specific tariff code. This code determines the applicable duties, taxes, and other applicable regulations, such as safety and quality standards. The global Harmonized System(HS) provides a basic framework for classifying products, while the EUs Combined Nomenclature(CN) offers a more detailed classification system tailored to the specific needs of the EU market.
