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.

Duty rate

12%, but not less than EUR 0.14/kg

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

However, lozenges and cough tablets containing substances having medicinal properties other than flavor additives are included in Chapter 30, provided that the amounts of these substances in each lozenge or tablet are such that they can be taken as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent. (6) White chocolate, which includes sugar, cocoa butter, powdered milk and flavor additives, but contains only a negligible amount of cocoa (cocoa butter is not considered as cocoa). (7) Licorice extract (bricks, blocks, tiles, pastile ki, etc.) containing more than 10% by weight of sucrose. However, when prepared as confectionery (with or without flavouring additives), licorice extract is included in this heading regardless of the amount of sugar contained therein. (8) Fruit jelly and fruit pastes in the form of sugar confectionery.

The heading excludes: (a) liquorice extract (not put up as confectionery) containing 10 % or less by weight of sucrose (heading 1302); (b) sugar preparations containing cocoa (heading 1806). (For the purposes of this heading, cocoa butter is not regarded as cocoa); (c) sweetened food preparations, such as vegetables, fruit, fruit peel, etc., preserved by sugar (heading 2006), and jams, fruit jellies, etc. (heading 2007); (d) sweets, gums and similar products (in particular, for diabetics) containing synthetic sweetening agents (e.g., sorbitol) instead of sugar; sugar-based pastes containing added fat in a relatively large proportion, and sometimes milk or nuts, not suitable for transformation directly into sugar confectionery (heading 2106); (e) medicaments of Chapter 30.
