- • EU customs declarations and tariff schedules
- • Import/export duty calculation within EU
- • Intrastat reporting for intra-EU trade
- • Common Customs Tariff (CCT) compliance

Structure & Hierarchy
CN extends HS codes with EU-specific details:
- • 8-digit EU extension of 6-digit HS codes
- • Annual updates aligned with EU trade policy
- • Chapter (2 digits), heading (4 digits), subheading (6 digits)
- • CN subheadings (8 digits) for EU-specific needs
- • TARIC codes (10 digits) for additional measures
European Union Implementation
CN is mandatory for all EU member states and serves as the legal basis for customs tariffs and trade statistics across the European Union. It provides the common language for customs procedures and ensures consistent classification throughout the single market.
