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
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

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.
