What determines the tariff number?
- Base materials. Noodles made from cereals, flour, or starch are classified differently from those containing milk components or other bases. The composition determines the correct tariff position.
- Fillings and preparation. Unfilled noodles have a different classification from filled varieties (e.g. with meat or other ingredients). Cooked or otherwise processed forms also affect the tariff code.
- Animal-derived ingredients. If your noodle contains animal-derived components, additional requirements and permits from BLV may apply. This influences both the HS code and customs clearance.
