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.

Where does 8479.89.97.60 sit in the tariff?
8479.89.97.60 sits in this hierarchy: 84 NUCLEAR REACTORS, BOILERS, MACHINERY AND MECHANICAL APPLIANCES; PARTS THEREOF > 8479 Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter > 847989 Other > 84798997 Other. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 8479.89.97.60?

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 8479.89.97.60 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 8479.89.97.60 to 0B001h, 0B005, 0B006, 1A006a, 1A006b, 1B001a, 1B001b, 1B001d. 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 8479.89.97.60 change?
8479.89.97.60 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
