Notes that govern this classification

Pos. 8542

Zu Unterposition 8542 32 90: Hierher gehören z.B. Assoziativspeicher (so genannte CAMs) und ferroelektrische Speicher. Assoziativspeicher (so genannte CAMs) sind inhaltsadressierbare Speicherelemente. Der Zugriff auf die Speicherstellen dieser Elemente erfolgt anhand ihres Inhalts oder eines Teils ihres Inhalts und nicht anhand ihrer Namen und Positionen (Adressen). Ferroelektrische Speicher sind nichtflüchtige Speicher, in denen ferroelektrische und Halbleitermaterialien miteinander kombiniert sind. Das ferroelektrische Material zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es elektrische Polarisierungen bewahrt, auch wenn kein elektrisches Feld angelegt ist. Diese Elemente sind elektrisch sowohl programmierbar als auch löschbar.

Frequently asked questions

What does customs tariff code 8542.32.90.00 cover?

Code 8542.32.90.00 covers Other memories. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.

What is the duty rate for 8542.32.90.00?

The third-country duty rate for 8542.32.90.00 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 8542.32.90.00?

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 8542.32.90.00 have?

8542.32.90.00 has ten digits and carries the EU measures held in TARIC. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.

Where does 8542.32.90.00 sit in the tariff?

8542.32.90.00 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 > 85423290 Other memories. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.

Is there binding tariff information for 8542.32.90.00?

Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 8542.32.90.00, for example DEBTI9475/20-1. 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 8542.32.90.00 a dual-use item?

The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 8542.32.90.00 to 3A001a, 3A101a, 3A501, 3A502, 5A002, 5A003, 5A004, 6A002. 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 8542.32.90.00 change?

8542.32.90.00 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
