Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 5205 cover?
Code 5205 covers Garne aus Baumwolle (andere als Nähgarne), mit einem Anteil an Baumwolle von 85 GHT oder mehr, nicht in Aufmachungen für den Einzelverkauf. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 5205?
TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 5205. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.
What is the HS code for 5205?
The first six digits form the HS code: 5205. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 5205 have?
5205 has four digits and identifies a Harmonised System heading. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 5205 sit in the tariff?
5205 sits in this hierarchy: 52 COTTON. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 5205?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 5205. Comparable cases are found through the parent heading instead.
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 5205 change?
5205 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.

This page shows one code. Zolltarif-Finder classifies entire product lists from Excel, CSV, or your ERP, with reasoning under GRI 1 to 6, official sources, compliance screening, and audit-ready reports.
