Compliance regimes on this code
Beyond the duty rate, these EU regimes attach to this code. Each verdict follows from the code alone; the goods themselves can still fall outside a regime.
Indicative correlation only. The mapping from customs codes to dual-use control codes is guidance, not a classification. Whether an item is controlled depends on its technical parameters.
