Customs tariff code
Customs tariff code 84: NUCLEAR REACTORS, BOILERS, MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; PARTS THEREOF
Reference data as at 10 October 2026
Customs tariff code 84 covers NUCLEAR REACTORS, BOILERS, MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; PARTS THEREOF. TARIC holds no third-country duty rate of its own for this code; the rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.
84 is a chapter in the EU customs tariff. This page shows the full classification path, the duty rate, the official comparison cases, and the notes that govern this code.
This code is not declarable on its own. A declaration needs one of the subdivisions beneath it.

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 84 cover?
Code 84 covers NUCLEAR REACTORS, BOILERS, MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; PARTS THEREOF. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 84?
TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 84. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.
How many digits does 84 have?
84 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 84?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 84. 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 84 change?
84 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
