INTRODUCTION

The TARIC consultation screen of the TARIC website contains three tabs: the measure tab, the geographical area tab and the regulation tab. In the
TARIC consultation screen the measure tab page is set as the default page.
The measure tab allows searching for a measure. A measure is mainly the application, during a certain period of time, of an aspect of the community tariff
and commercial legislation to goods imported from a certain origin or exported to a certain destination.
For example, the third country duty (MFN tariff clause duty) for the yellowfin tunas (code 030232) is 22%. Or the third country duty rate for the fillets
(code 03041110) is 18% and the preferential duty rate for the same product for the EEA is 5.40%.
The geographical area tab allows finding a country or a country group. For example, the United States can be found by using the ISO code of the country
(US) or by the country name.
The regulation tab allows searching for a regulation by indicating the Official Journal number, the publication date or time span, or the regulation date or
time span. A link to the relevant measures is provided and allows to go to the measure tab page with additional criteria and the legal base field pre-filled.
A link to eurlex provides the complete text for the regulation in question. For example, it is possible to search for all the regulations published in the
Official Journal on 25 March 2010 or all the regulations published between 20 March 2010 and 25 March 2010.
2.

REFERENCE DATE

The TARIC website system indicates the current reference date for a query. By default this reference date is the current calendar date.
The reference date is the date whose values you want to see. It shows the measures, regulations and geographical information valid on that date. In order
to modify the reference date you must click on "change" after the displayed reference date.

4/137

Click on "change" and a pop-up appears.

Choose a date and click on "ok" or click twice
on the date whose values you want to see or
click first on the month and then on the date. To
go back to the current date click on "today" and
"ok".

5/137

If you search for information in the future, the search is based on what is known at the current calendar date. Therefore it is possible that the information
looked for can change between now and the future date.

LAST UPDATE

The last update provided in the TARIC website gives the last time when the TARIC website was uploaded.

SEARCH FOR MEASURES

All the goods to which tariff and commercial measures can be applied must be described and identified. The identification is achieved via a codification
system. In the TARIC website goods are coded according to the TARIC nomenclature. The TARIC nomenclature is divided into 21 sections, further
subdivided into 97 chapters grouped according to material and use. The TARIC code has 10 digits.
In order to search for measures you need to determine the goods nomenclature code and the origin/destination.
4.1.

Goods code

Enter the goods nomenclature code when you know the code. A TARIC goods code consists of a 10-digit TARIC code which includes 6 HS digits (digits
1-6) and 2 CN digits (digits 7-8) as well as the two TARIC digits (digits 9-10).

6/137

A goods code 0303770010 is

entered.

4.2.

Browser

If the goods nomenclature code is not known, the nomenclature browser can be used. The browser allows searching for a goods code from a TARIC
nomenclature by providing the descriptions of the goods. To search for the goods code you first have to identify the appropriate section, then the
appropriate chapter and lastly the appropriate subheadings for HS, CN and TARIC by choosing the correct goods nomenclature description. The browser
intends to provide the same structure as is displayed in the regulation reproducing the complete version of the Combined Nomenclature with rates of duty.
Below you can find two examples of a search for a product by using the nomenclature browser.

Choose "Parboiled" and click on it. Note that in front of "Parboiled" and
"Other" there are no codes since "Parboiled" and "Other" are just titles
and a way to break down "Husked (brown) rice".

13/137

If you click on "Other" the codes under

"Parboiled" are not anymore displayed. Click on
"Other".

14/137

Click again on "Parboiled" and the codes

under "Other" are not anymore displayed.

15/137

As indicated earlier the browser intends to provide the same structure as is displayed in the regulation reproducing the complete version of the Combined
Nomenclature with rates of duty.

This is the display of "Parboiled" and "Other" in

the relevant regulation.

Meursing table and additional duties

The EU has developed a Meursing table to calculate additional duties on certain food preparations.
The Meursing table indicates the combination and percentage of four components of a product: milk fat, milk proteins, starch/glucose and sucrose/invert
sugar/isoglucose.
On the basis of the four above-mentioned components in a product an additional code is determined. The Meursing additional code type is always 7 and
thereto is added a 3-digit Meursing additional code. It is this 3-digit additional code that has to be entered when searching for the amounts of agricultural
components and of additional duties imposed on a product.
The additional duties include additional duties on sugar (AD S/Z) and reduced additional duties on sugar (AD S/ZR), additional duties on flour (AD F/M)
and reduced additional duties on flour (AD F/MR) as well as the agricultural component (EA) and reduced agricultural component (EAR).
The agricultural component and the additional duties on a product are to be levied at the customs in addition to the third country duties.

80/137

Enter the goods code 1905 31 99 00 and

click on "Retrieve measures".

81/137

For the goods code 1905 31 99 00 the third country duty

is 9% and the agricultural component is 24.2% at
maximum plus the additional duties on sugar are to be
indicated.
If you know the additional 3-digit code for your product
you can enter it in the "Additional Code" field. Then click
on "Calculate" in order to find the amounts of the
agricultural component and the additional duties relevant
to your product.
Enter e.g. 126 in the "Additional Code" field and click on
"Calculate".

82/137

The third country duty for the product is 9% and

the agricultural component is 36.54 EUR /100kg
plus the additional duty on sugar is 10.06 EUR
/100 kg.

83/137

If you do not know the Meursing additional code for

your product you can find it and the additional duties
by clicking on "Find from composition".

84/137

When clicking on "Find from composition" a pop-up

appears. It displays the four components of a product
necessary to determine the Meursing additional code and
the additional duties.

85/137

Indicate the values of milk fat, milk proteins,

starch/glucose and sucrose/ invert sugar
/isoglucose of your product and click on
"Calculate".

86/137

Now you can find the additional duties as well as the

additional code for your product.
In this case the third country duty for the product is 9%
and the agricultural component is 36.54 EUR /100kg
plus the additional duty on sugar is 10.06 EUR /100 kg.
The Meursing additional code for the indicated values
of the four components is 126.
