Taric Settings
Introduction
As explained, we have two level regarding the Customs Product database:
- The Taric commodity code, which is the classification of Products from an EU Customs point of view; and
- The Product by Trade name, belonging to a Taric commodity code (always one).
On both levels it should be possible to apply settings. This part is about the Settings on the Taric commodity code level called "Taric Settings".
Taric Settings
Under the Taric Settings Page it first should be clear to the User, which Settings is he looking at, belonging to which Taric code? This means the Taric code selected should be mentioned including the Description.

Secondly, it should be clear since when the company has registered this Taric code. In the event this Taric code is no longer relevant the User should be able to set an end date. Tis is both for information purposes and for the purpose of retrieving data from the Taric Service, where the Taric service would only provide provide data for 'active' Taric codes. If the mechanism currently does not take into account an 'active status', meaning the data will still be populated, this is fine. The main purpose is for information purposes to a company.

Thus far the informational and organisational settings. Then comes the functional settings part.
EU Settings
The functional settings relate to the Measures that are applicable to a certain Taric commodity code. Per Taric code the User should be able to register default settings per Measure under a Header "EU Settings". That means that:
- First the User should be able select a Measure from a List of Measures;
- This list should show only the Measures applicable to the Taric code of the Taric Settings page the User is on. It should show only the Measures relevant for EU;
- The Measures should show by Measure, meaning that if a Measure is included multiple times, because for example the Measure applies for multiple Geographical areas, it should show only once.
The current setup shows the data incorrectly:
Taric Setting - EU settings, Improvements needed
- First column should show Measure Type. Geographical Area can be removed from the list;
- Currently it shows the National (Dutch) Measure Types, should be the EU Measure Types which are more. Please note the specification that each Measure type only shows once;
- Instead of being able to "View Conditions", the user should be able to open a dropdown showing a list of the conditions and be able to select and save a condition. For example:
These are the conditions applicable. The user should be able to select the top one and Save. As a Result the Table should show the value N954 next to the Measure Type under which it was stored (in the example 142 Tariff preference). Please note that the list of conditions to select from should show all conditions belonging to the Measure Type, regardless of the Geographical area. So it should show all possibilities, each possibility only once. So let's say the Measure Type 142 Tariff Preference has a condition N954 when taking into account geographical area Kenya, but when taking into account the UK the condition is U116, the conditions list should show both. If both Kenya and the UK would have a same option, say XXX, it should only show the condition XXX once.
Member State settings
Same principle should apply to the Member State settings, only showing the Measure Types relevant to the Member State. Currently it is the other way around and it is showing the EU Measure types:
