Notes that govern this classification
Zu Unterposition 8542 32 45: Cache-Schreib-Lesespeicher (Cache-RAMs) sind statische Schreib-Lesespeicher mit einer schnelleren Zugriffszeit als der Hauptspeicher. Cache-RAMs werden in der Regel als Zwischenpufferspeicher benutzt, um den Geschwindigkeitsunterschied zwischen einer Zentraleinheit (CPU) und dem Hauptspeicher auszugleichen.

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 8542.32.45 cover?
Code 8542.32.45 covers Static random-access memories (S-RAMs), including cache random-access memories (cache-RAMs). Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 8542.32.45?
The third-country duty rate for 8542.32.45 is 0 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 8542.32.45?
The first six digits form the HS code: 854232. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 8542.32.45 have?
8542.32.45 has eight digits and matches the EU Combined Nomenclature. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 8542.32.45 sit in the tariff?
8542.32.45 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 > 8542 Electronic integrated circuits > 854232 Memories. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 8542.32.45?
Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 8542.32.45, for example FRBTIFR-BTI-2021-08998. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on.
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 8542.32.45 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 8542.32.45 to 3A001a, 3A501, 3A502, 3A001a. 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 8542.32.45 change?
8542.32.45 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
