1. INTRODUCTIONThe TARIC consultation screen of the TARIC website contains three tabs: the measure tab, the geographical area tab and the regulation tab. In the

TARIC consultation screen the measure tab page is set as the default page.

The measure tab allows searching for a measure. A measure is mainly the application, during a certain period of time, of an aspect of the community

tariff and commercial legislation to goods imported from a certain origin or exported to a certain destination.

For example, the third country duty (MFN tariff clause duty) for the yellowfin tunas (code 030232) is 22%. Or the third country duty rate for the fillets(code 03041110) is 18% and the preferential duty rate for the same product for the EEA is 5.40%.

The geographical area tab allows finding a country or a country group. For example, the United States can be found by using the ISO code of the country

(US) or by the country name.

The regulation tab allows searching for a regulation by indicating the Official Journal number, the publication date or time span, or the regulation date or

time span. A link to the relevant measures is provided and allows to go to the measure tab page with additional criteria and the legal base field pre-filled.

A link to eurlex provides the complete text for the regulation in question. For example, it is possible to search for all the regulations published in the

Official Journal on 25 March 2010 or all the regulations published between 20 March 2010 and 25 March 2010.

2. REFERENCE DATEThe TARIC website system indicates the current reference date for a query. By default this reference date is the current calendar date.

The reference date is the date whose values you want to see. It shows the measures, regulations and geographical information valid on that date. In orderto modify the reference date you must click on "change" after the displayed reference date.


5/107

5/107

Click on "change" and a popup appears.

Choose a date and click on "ok" or click twice

on the date whose values you want to see or

click first on the month and then on the date.

To go back to the current date click on "today"

and "ok".


6/107

6/107

If you search for information in the future, the search is based on what is known at the current calendar date. Therefore it is possible that the information

looked for can change between now and the future date.

3. LAST UPDATEThe last update provided in the TARIC website gives the last time when the TARIC website was uploaded.

4. SEARCH FOR MEASURESAll the goods to which tariff and commercial measures can be applied must be described and identified. The identification is achieved via a codification

system. In the TARIC website goods are coded according to the TARIC nomenclature. The TARIC nomenclature is divided into 21 sections, further

subdivided into 97 chapters grouped according to material and use. The TARIC code has 10 digits.

In order to search for measures you need to determine the goods nomenclature code and the origin/destination.

4.1. Goods codeEnter the goods nomenclature code when you know the code.


7/107

4.2. BrowserIf the goods nomenclature code is not known, the nomenclature browser can be used. The browser allows searching for a goods code from a TARIC

nomenclature by providing the descriptions of the goods. To search for the goods code you first have to identify the appropriate section, then the

appropriate chapter and lastly the appropriate subheadings for HS, CN and TARIC by choosing the correct goods nomenclature description. The browser

intends to provide the same structure as is displayed in the regulation reproducing the complete version of the Combined Nomenclature with rates of

duty.
