What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Caps made from rubber or plastic are classified differently than those made from textiles or other materials. The material is a key factor in determining the tariff code.
- Safety certification. Safety caps with protective functions have their own classification separate from standard caps. Non-safety headwear follows different tariff numbers.
- Equipment and finishing. Caps with additional equipment,装饰, or special finishing may receive a different tariff number than plain or basic models.
Permits & requirements
Depending on the exact classification, permits or requirements may apply to this goods group (issued by authorities such as BAZG). Checking with the tool flags possible requirements and the responsible authorities.
