What is the duty rate for 2712.90.91?

The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 2712.90.91 to 1C111. Whether your item is listed depends on its technical parameters and has to be checked against the wording of the control list.
Does customs tariff code 2712.90.91 change?
