Customs tariff numbers
Under Master Data Management → Master Data → Customs Tariff Numbers, you can view and maintain the customs tariff numbers that apply to your organizational units.
Customs tariff numbers are eight-digit commodity codes. Customs tariff numbers are used to code goods in order to notify the authorities of the quantity of goods of a particular type that have been imported or exported. The statistical goods number corresponds to the Combined Nomenclature, which is relevant as a customs tariff number for exports. This number must be reported to customs for every export and import transaction; the goods are tariffed with it, i.e. grouped into the customs rates. For export the customs tariff number is 8-digit and for import 11-digit (the 8-digit number is supplemented by another 3 digits). For example, if a company purchases goods of the type “clothing”, there is a certain range of tariff numbers assigned to that type. This can be obtained from customs. |
