The European customs inventory of chemical substances (ECICS) has been updated with CN codes 2005. It is a priceless tool for all persons concerned with chemicals in international trade, all over the world. It makes it possible to identify most of the internationally marketed chemicals in a non-equivocal manner, on customs and legal purposes.

It contains about 35.400 chemical names (ISO, INN, CI, IUPAC) for approximately 28.600 chemicals, in 11 languages, with the customs classification (Harmonized System and Combined Nomenclature) and the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number.

Via the CN code, ECICS provides an easy access to the TARIC database where the duty rates and commercial policy measures on import/export within EU can be found.

ECICS embodies Commission Regulation (EC) No 1810/2004 of 7 September 2004 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (CN codes 2005). See Official Journal L 327 of 30 October 2004.
