EU TARIC & Combined Nomenclature lookup

TARIC (Tarif Intégré de la Communauté) is the European Union's integrated tariff. It combines the Common Customs Tariff with commercial and agricultural measures — preferences, quotas, suspensions, anti-dumping duties and import restrictions. Build the CN code from the HS base here, then open the exact TARIC line for the measures in force.

About the data. TARIC measures — duty rates, preferences, quotas and trade defence measures — are maintained daily by the European Commission. The Combined Nomenclature descriptions bundled here come from the international HS 2022 base, so always confirm the exact eight and ten-digit line in the official TARIC consultation before you declare.

How the code levels fit together

HS — 6 digits

The internationally harmonised subheading, used by more than 200 economies. Example: 2204 21 — wine of fresh grapes, in containers of 2 litres or less.

CN — 8 digits

The Combined Nomenclature, the EU's statistical and tariff nomenclature. It adds two digits for EU-specific subdivisions. Example: 2204 21 06.

TARIC — 10 digits

Two further digits record EU measures such as anti-dumping duties, tariff quotas, suspensions or surveillance. This is the level at which the EU declares.

UK — 10 digits

Great Britain uses the same six HS digits but its own national digits. Always declare in the UK using the code from the UK Trade Tariff.

What TARIC covers

VAT & duty reference →

Conventional & autonomous duties

The Common Customs Tariff third-country duty rates, plus autonomous suspensions and tariff ceilings adopted by the Council of the EU.

Preferential arrangements

Lower or zero rates under EU trade agreements, the Generalised Scheme of Preferences, the Everything But Arms scheme and preferential quotas.

Trade defence instruments

Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures that apply additional duties to specific products from specific origins.

Restrictions & prohibitions

Import and export restrictions, CITES controls, dual-use goods, agricultural measures, entry price systems and surveillance requirements.

Not in TARIC: VAT and excise duties are national levies set by each EU member state and are not part of TARIC. See the VAT reference for indicative EU member state rates.
