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.

How many digits does 3206.49.70.50 have?

Is 3206.49.70.50 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 3206.49.70.50 to 1C001, 1C101, 1C001. 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 3206.49.70.50 change?
3206.49.70.50 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
