What determines the tariff number?
- Material and fibre content. Flyers made from pure paper, cardboard, or other cellulose-based fibres are classified differently. The exact material composition determines the correct HS code.
- Printing and processing. Whether unprinted, printed, or manufactured with special processes – the degree of processing significantly influences the tariff classification and can result in different codes.
- Weight and thickness. The paper weight (gsm) and thickness determine classification into different tariff categories within the paper goods group.
- Intended use and function. Whether marketing material, information sheet, or promotional flyer – the product's purpose affects the correct customs tariff number for Swiss customs clearance.
