The European Commission has made available the latest version from the Combined Nomenclature by publishing the Commission Regulation (EC) N° 861/2010 in EU Official Journal L284 of 29 October 2010.

The Combined Nomenclature is used for the customs declarations at importation and exportation. It determines a.o. the duty rates and is also the basis for Intrastat (intra-Community trade statistics).

For business it is important to schedule an update or review for the related master data, as the newest version applies from 1st January 2011. If you want more information on the Customs Classification of goods or if you want assistance/training on this topic, you can contact us at info@customs4trade.com.
