### 10-Digit Commodity Code (TARIC)

<div id="bkmrk-">  
</div>When a customs declaration is required, the goods must be declared using the applicable **10-digit commodity code (TARIC code)**. As the Company provides customs services on behalf of the Customer, **the Customer is responsible for** timely **providing the 10-digit TARIC code** for the Product whenever a customs declaration is required.

</div><div id="bkmrk--2">  
</div>The TARIC (Integrated Tariff of the European Union) is the EU's database containing the customs tariff and other measures applicable to the import and export of goods. The applicable TARIC code determines which customs and trade measures may apply to a particular Product, such as customs duties, tariff measures, restrictions, licences, or other requirements.

Providing the correct TARIC code is therefore an important part of the information required to prepare and lodge a customs declaration correctly. It also ensures that the applicable EU measures are applied consistently and that the relevant customs data can be recorded and reported correctly.

The Customer should provide the TARIC code sufficiently in advance of the planned customs activity to allow the Company to validate the information and, where relevant, identify any additional data or supporting documentation that may be required before the declaration can be lodged.
