Definition

All goods are listed in the tariff exactly according to description under assignment of the tariff number (8 characters). This tariff number is used for the clear identification of goods flows and is recorded in the foreign trade statistics. If trade documents are created, e.g. an export declaration for foreign trade, the corresponding tariff numbers must be used. Invoices or packing lists must be attached to the outside of the goods/packaging so that it is clear which goods are included with which tariff number.
