Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 3811.21.00 cover?
Code 3811.21.00 covers Additive für Schmieröle, Erdöl oder Öl aus bituminösen Mineralien enthaltend. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 3811.21.00?
The third-country duty rate for 3811.21.00 is 5.3 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 3811.21.00?
The first six digits form the HS code: 381121. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 3811.21.00 have?
3811.21.00 has eight digits and matches the EU Combined Nomenclature. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 3811.21.00 sit in the tariff?
3811.21.00 sits in this hierarchy: 38 MISCELLANEOUS CHEMICAL PRODUCTS > 3811 Anti-knock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, gum inhibitors, viscosity improvers, anti-corrosive preparations and other prepared additives, for mineral oils (including gasoline) or for other liquids used for the same purposes as mineral oils > 381121 Containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 3811.21.00?
Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 3811.21.00, for example HRBTIOM-2023-0126. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on.
What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
Does customs tariff code 3811.21.00 change?
3811.21.00 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
