What is the code used for?

Heading 5508 is a four-digit heading in chapter 55. The first four digits are the same in every country that uses the worldwide Harmonized System (HS).

The code has subheadings, so it cannot be declared as it is: pick the subheading below that describes the goods most precisely.

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).
