Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Machine translation. The original is the Russian text of the EAEU tariff, and customs goes by it; this translation is for understanding only and has no legal force.

Duty rate
5%

This is the base rate. A tariff quota, a preference for the country of origin and a tariff exemption lower it; anti-dumping and special duties are paid on top of it

EEC Council Decision No. 80 of 14.09.2021

Supplementary unit
Not applicable
Requirements and measures
6

None: dual use, trade defence measures — duty on top of the tariff, tariff quota.

Whether a measure applies to your goods depends on their characteristics and the shipping documents

VAT
22% or 10%

10% if the product matches the line of List No. 908: “Моллюски, в раковине или без раковины, живые, свежие, охлажденные, мороженые, сушеные…”. Otherwise 22%.

This heading covers: (1) molluscs, whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine; (2) smoked molluscs, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process. The heading also covers molluscs which have only been subjected to scalding or other types of heat shock (which do not entail cooking as such) necessary to open the shell or to stabilise the mollusc before transport or freezing. The main kinds of molluscs are oysters, scallops, mussels, cuttle fish, squid, octopus, snails, clams, cockles, ark shells, abalone and conchs (stromboid). The heading also covers parts of molluscs, provided they have not undergone any processing other than that referred to in item (1) or (2) above. The heading also covers oyster spat (young oysters intended for rearing) and flours, meals and pellets of molluscs, fit or suitable for human consumption. The heading excludes molluscs prepared or preserved by processes not

40 referred to in this heading (for example, shellfish prepared in boiling water or preserved in vinegar) (heading 1605).

Notes

English text as published in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/1832 (Combined Nomenclature). The EAEU tariff and the EU nomenclature copy these notes from the same convention.

(a) mammals of heading 0106;

(b) meat of mammals of heading 0106 (heading 0208 or 0210);

(d) caviar or caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs (heading 1604).

2. In this chapter, the term ‘pellets’ means products which have been agglomerated either directly by compression or by the addition of a small quantity of binder.

3. Headings 0305 to 0308 do not cover flours, meals and pellets, fit for human consumption (heading 0309).
