European Union
Trade agreements: European Union
Preferential rates published in the official European Union tariff are held as measures with their partner countries and validity dates.
A preference never applies automatically. It is shown as a separate scenario until you confirm that the goods meet the agreement’s rules of origin and that you hold valid proof. LandedGrid does not evaluate product-specific origin rules.
What LandedGrid does not calculate for this destination
- quotas: Weekly Commission quota balances are matched by origin and period. Licence-managed, missing or stale balances are not assumed; in-quota rates remain conditional on allocation.
- taxes: Import VAT uses the member state’s standard rate from the Commission’s TEDB service. Reduced rates exist for some goods and are not applied automatically.
- excise: Excise duties are national and are not in TARIC. They are not calculated.
- regulatory: TARIC import restrictions and control measures attached to the code are listed. National rules and product legislation outside TARIC are not covered.
- TARIC data is the Commission’s monthly extraction (situation on the 1st of the month). Measures that change mid-month appear at the next extraction.
- VAT and excise are national: TARIC is never used to infer them. VAT comes from the member-state tax adapter (TEDB).
- Agricultural components (Meursing), entry-price and other composition-dependent duties are flagged for review rather than calculated.
