EU Combined Nomenclature 2023 published

04/11/22

On 31 October 2022 a new version of the Combined Nomenclature for 2023 (also known as “the Tariff”) has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Tariff is used for the classification of the goods for imports and for trade between the EU member states (i.e. Intrastat). The new version of the Tariff shall apply from 1 January 2023.

What does this mean for your business?

In the next paragraph the CN codes subject to changes for 2023 can be found. As mentioned, the Tariff is used for the classification of products. As the changes may have an impact on this classification of your products and therefore impact your business, it is important to verify whether these changes are relevant to business.

It is recommended to timely evaluate the effects of the changes (e.g. change of a customs authorisation which includes specific commodity codes, master data in systems to be updated) to prevent any surprises, delays and incorrect declarations being filed as of 1 January 2023.
