Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 8502.31.00.11 cover?
Code 8502.31.00.11 covers Utility scale wind turbines of an electrical power generation capacity – either in onshore or offshore applications - equal to or in excess of 1.00 megawatt, fitted in a steel wind tower and a nacelle, where the tower is tubular, whether or not tapered, whether or not assembled, whether or not including an embedded tower foundation section, whether or not joined with rotor blades, designed to support the nacelle and rotor blades, and with a minimum height of 50 meters measured from the base of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle when the tower is fully assembled. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 8502.31.00.11?
TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 8502.31.00.11. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.
What is the HS code for 8502.31.00.11?
The first six digits form the HS code: 850231. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 8502.31.00.11 have?
8502.31.00.11 has ten digits and carries the EU measures held in TARIC. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 8502.31.00.11 sit in the tariff?
8502.31.00.11 sits in this hierarchy: 85 ELECTRICAL MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT AND PARTS THEREOF; SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS, TELEVISION IMAGE AND SOUND RECORDERS AND REPRODUCERS, AND PARTS AND ACCESSORIES OF SUCH ARTICLES > 8502 Electric generating sets and rotary converters > 850231 Wind-powered > 85023100 andere Stromerzeugungsaggregate, windgetrieben. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 8502.31.00.11?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 8502.31.00.11. 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 there an anti-dumping duty on 8502.31.00.11?
Yes. Trade defence measures are in force on 8502.31.00.11, covering origin Türkiye, ERGA OMNES, China. The rate depends on the producer: without the correct TARIC additional code, the residual rate for all other companies applies, which can be considerably higher.
Does customs tariff code 8502.31.00.11 change?
8502.31.00.11 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
