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
EEC Council Decision No. 80 of 14.09.2021
None: russian bans and restrictions, 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

This heading covers parts of railway locomotives or motor cars of a tram or rolling stock, provided that such parts meet the following two requirements: (i) they must be identifiable as parts suitable for use exclusively or mainly with the above-mentioned vehicles; (ii) they must not be excluded by the provisions of the Notes to Section XVII. Parts of railway locomotives or motor cars of a tram or rolling stock include (1) trolleys with two or more axles and trolleys consisting of a frame with only one axle. (2) Straight or cranked axles, assembled or disassembled. (3) Wheels and their parts (wheel centers, metal bandages, etc.). (4) Axial boxes, also known as lubrication boxes, and parts thereof (e.g. axial boxes). (5) All types of brake devices, including: (a) hand brakes operated directly from each wagon (lever and screw brakes); (b) brakes with uniform control for all transport units of the train. These include pneumatic brakes and vacuum brakes; (c) parts to brake devices including pads, cylinders, levers, etc. (6) Buffers. (7) Coupling devices (e.g. hook, screw screed or chain, traction devices); some coupling devices may be automatic. (8) Frames and their parts (strangerons, transverse beams, axial boxes, etc.); frames in the form of a single casting. (9) Intercar connections and connecting platforms.
(10) Bodies (not installed on subframes) for self-propelled or carrying motile railway or tram rolling stock (for example, for passenger cars, freight platforms, freight cars, etc.); parts to such bodies (for example, doors of passenger and goods cars, partitions, sides of cars on hinges, side racks, footrests, water tanks for tenders). (11) Pipes with coupling heads for braking or heating systems. (12) Hydraulic shock absorbers for wheel bogies. It should be noted, however, that corners, shaped profiles, sheets, plates and other parts of frames, as well as pipes, tubes, etc. of base metal, are included in Section XV, unless they are processed to the extent that they are clearly identified as parts of locomotives or rolling stock.

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.
