How this list is made
We compare every 8-digit code of the CN 2025 and CN 2026 editions of the Combined Nomenclature, as published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Chapter 99 (special codes) is left out. Descriptions are the official texts, reformatted.
The links between removed and new codes are Eurostat's correspondence table.
Not sure which code fits your product?
Describe the product and the HS code finder suggests a code from the official nomenclature, with its path and up to 2 alternatives.
Not a binding classification
These pages show the official texts for reference. They are not a binding classification: check the code with your customs broker, or ask your customs authority for Binding Tariff Information (BTI).
