On October 31, 2024, the EU Commission published changes to the Combined Nomenclature. The Publication of the UK tariff followed on November 6. Check your commodity codes now.
To prevent incorrect tax assessments and avoid unauthorized exports, companies need the correct commodity codes for their goods – both for export and import. However, this is not a one-off affair: At the turn of the year, the Combined Nomenclature (CN) code is reissued and changes to the Harmonized System (HS) are also made every five years. The last change took effect on January 1, 2022 – so the changes this year will be smaller. Timely and careful preparation is nevertheless necessary.
With Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2522 of September 23, 2024, which was published by the European Commission on October 31, the changes to the Combined Nomenclature, i.e. the 7th and 8th digits in the EU, are known.
The commodity codes listed in the Annex must be reported by companies in exports or intra-Community transactions from January 1, 2025.
The most important changes at a glance:
A total of 49 new numbers were included, 34 were declared invalid and none were reused with substantive changes.
Classify your goods the way you want – manually, semi-automatically, automatically. For import and export alike.
With the publication of the 8 Digit Commodity Code Correlation Table 2024/2025 and Update to Commodity Code Structure on November 6, 2024, we now have an overview of the changes for the coming year.
UK changes maintain dynamic alignment with the EU and also include updates to Northern Ireland Agriculture Quotas and updates to suspensions.
AEB will promptly publish what you should bear in mind when changing your commodity codes manually or automatically in the AEB Help Center. Export Filing: The new commodity codes will be available in the application after rollout of the December service pack.
