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.

Possible dual-use control codes

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.

Kaliummetaphosphat (KPO3)n Bei der Ware handelt es sich um Kaliummetaphosphat. Nach dem Analysenzertifikat beträgt der Phosphorgehalt (angegeben und ermittelt als P2O5) 60,8 %. Kaliummetaphosphat wird als Stabilisator (E452) in der Lebensmittelindustrie verwendet. Die Ware ist als anderes Polyphosphat in die Unterposition 2835 3900 00 der Kombinierten Nomenklatur einzureihen. Eine Einreihung als Phosphat des Kaliums in die Unterposition 28352400 der KN scheidet folglich aus.
