## Frequently asked questions

### What does customs tariff code 76 cover?

Code 76 covers ALUMINIUM AND ARTICLES THEREOF. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.

### What is the duty rate for 76?

TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 76. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.

### How many digits does 76 have?

76 has two digits and identifies a Harmonised System chapter. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.

### Is there binding tariff information for 76?

The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 76. 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.

### Is 76 covered by CBAM?

Yes. 76 appears in Annex I of the CBAM regulation (sector Aluminium). The code is broader than the Annex I entry, so only part of it is covered; check the specific goods. Importers report embedded emissions and surrender CBAM certificates.

### Does customs tariff code 76 change?

76 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
