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.

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
None: russian bans and restrictions, conformity assessment, dual use, EAEU non-tariff regulation, 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

1. The terms used in this chapter mean:
(a) “refined copper” means a metal containing not less than 99.85 % by weight of copper or a metal containing not less than 97.5 % by weight of copper, provided that the content by weight of each other element does not exceed the limits specified in the following table:

* Other elements include, for example, Al, Be, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Si
(b) "copper alloys" means metal alloys, other than unrefined copper, in which copper is greater in mass than any other element, provided that:
(i) the mass content of at least one of the other elements exceeds the limit indicated in the above table; or
(ii) the total content of other elements exceeds 2.5 % by weight.
(c) "ligatures" means alloys containing, among other elements, more than 10 % by weight of copper, not suitable for deformation in the cold state and used mainly as additives in the manufacture of other alloys or as oxidants, desulphurators or for other similar purposes in non-ferrous metallurgy. However, copper phosphide (copper phosphorus) containing more than 15 % by weight of phosphorus is classified in heading 2853.

1. The terms used in this group have the following meanings:
(a) “copper and zinc (brass)-based alloys” means alloys of copper and zinc, whether or not containing other elements. If other elements are present, then:
zinc by weight must exceed each of these other elements.
- in the presence of nickel, its content should not exceed 5 wt.% (see copper-nickel-zinc alloys (neusilbers)); and
- in the presence of tin, its content should not exceed 3 wt.% (see copper-tin alloys (bronzes)).
(b) “alloys based on copper and tin (bronze)” means alloys of copper and tin containing or not containing other elements. In the presence of other elements, the tin content by weight exceeds the content by weight of each of these elements, except when the content of tin 3 wt.% or more zinc content by weight may exceed the content by weight of tin, but it should be less than 10 wt.%.
(c) "alloys based on copper, nickel and zinc (neusilbers)" means alloys of copper, nickel and zinc, whether or not containing other elements. The nickel content is 5 wt.% or more (see copper-zinc alloys (brass)).
(d) “copper and nickel-based alloys” means alloys of copper and nickel containing or not containing other elements, but in any case with a content not exceeding 1% by weight of zinc. In the presence of other elements, the nickel content by weight exceeds the content by weight of each of these elements.

Correspondence keys of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, edition of 20.07.2023. The ministry’s caveat: Ключи отражают возможные соответствия между кодами на уровне первых шести знаков ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС (основанной на ГС) и кодами ОКПД 2 (основанного на КПЕС) по состоянию на 1 января 2022 года. Предлагаемые соответствия не являются исчерпывающими и предназначены для использования в качестве вспомогательного материала для облегчения работы по установлению возможных вариантов корреляции кодов классификаторов в отношении соответствующих категорий товаров.
Настоящие переходные ключи (сопоставительные таблицы) разработаны на основе данных агентства Евростат Комиссии Европейского союза по корреляции кодов Гармонизированной системы описания и кодирования товаров (ГС) 2022 года и Статистической классификации продукции по видам экономической деятельности в Европейском союзе (КПЕС) 2008 года. Ключи отражают возможные соответствия между кодами на уровне первых шести знаков ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС (основанной на ГС) и кодами ОКПД 2 (основанного на КПЕС) по состоянию на 1 января 2022 года. Предлагаемые соответствия не являются исчерпывающими и предназначены для использования в качестве вспомогательного материала для облегчения работы по установлению возможных вариантов корреляции кодов классификаторов в отношении соответствующих категорий товаров. Услуги не являются объектом классификации в ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС и не включены в переходные ключи. По мере внесения изменений в ОКПД 2 и ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС переходные ключи при необходимости подлежат актуализации.
