Woven fabrics of artificial staple fibres: containing less than 85 % by weight of artificial staple fibres, mixed mainly or solely with man-made filaments: unbleached or bleached

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
10%

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

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