What is the code used for?

5503 90 00 40 is a TARIC code, the most detailed, ten-digit level of the EU customs tariff. Its first eight digits, 5503 90 00, are the CN code and the first six, 5503 90, the HS subheading.

The code is the lowest level of the nomenclature and is used as it is: an import declaration takes all ten digits (5503 90 00 40), an export declaration only the first eight (5503 90 00).

Duties, VAT, import restrictions and the other measures that apply to the code are in the EU's TARIC service. The search is a guide only; Finnish Customs gives binding decisions on classification (Binding Tariff Information).
