What determines the tariff number?
- Content type. Audio CDs, data CDs, and video DVDs are classified differently. The content type determines the primary category within electrotechnical goods and apparatus.
- Material and construction. CDs are made from polycarbonate or similar plastics. The materials used affect classification under electrotechnical wares and apparatus parts.
- Packaging and quantity. Blank CDs, single discs, and multi-pack sets may fall under different tariff numbers. Packaging size and quantity influence the exact classification.
- Accessories and components. CDs with cases, labels, or additional components may be classified differently than raw discs. Such additions can affect the customs tariff number.
