What it is
TARIC (the integrated Tariff of the European Union) is the EU’s database of customs classification codes, duties and trade measures. Each product is assigned a code that determines the customs treatment it receives on import.
Why it matters for compliance
Managers often reach for a TARIC or Combined Nomenclature code as a shortcut to regulatory scope. It is a useful hint — codes group products and can suggest likely regimes — but it exists to assess duties and trade measures, not product-safety obligations, and a single code can span products with very different regulatory profiles. Treating the customs code as the determinant of safety scope is a classic mistake.
How to use it
- Find your product’s customs code for duty and import purposes.
- Use the code as a hint to likely applicable regimes, then verify properly.
- Pair it with Access2Markets for the full border picture.
Good to know
Determine applicable product law from the product itself — its function, materials, features and markets — and document the reasoning; let the customs code inform the analysis, not conclude it.
