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.
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

None: russian bans and restrictions, conformity assessment, dual use, EAEU non-tariff regulation, trade defence measures — duty on top of the tariff, tariff quota.

Full descriptionCollapse description
The holder is made by injection molding from polystyrene, dental floss from polypropylene lubricated with beeswax and menthol. Dental floss is designed to clean interdental spaces, removes contaminants stuck in the gaps between the teeth - places inaccessible to the toothbrush. Dental floss is soft and thin, removes food residues and plaque, does not damage tooth enamel and does not widen the gaps between the teeth.
