Access2Markets — trade requirements and tariffs

What it is

Access2Markets is the European Commission’s official portal for import and export requirements. For a given product and country it sets out tariffs and duties, rules of origin, the procedures and documents required, and applicable product rules — bringing customs and regulatory information into one place.

Why it matters for compliance

Placing products on the EU market is not only a safety question; it is also a customs and trade one. Access2Markets helps a brand see, per product and route, what the border will require — useful when planning imports, checking duties, or understanding documentation such as that needed under the Deforestation Regulation.

How to use it

• Look up your product by code to see tariffs, procedures and requirements.
• Check rules of origin where preferential trade terms apply.
• Use it alongside TARIC for the precise customs classification.

Good to know

A customs code is a useful hint to likely product rules, but it does not determine your safety obligations — use it to inform, not to conclude, a requirement determination.
