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.

Binding tariff information for this code
Conform descrierii solicitantului și a fotografiei publicate în baza de date, produsul reprezintă un reflectometru / instrument de măsură pentru radiofrecvență, utilizat în sisteme de emisie-recepție radio, în special în banda CB (26–30 MHz). Aparatul este un echipament de măsură și control destinat analizei parametrilor de funcționare ai liniei de transmisie RF (stație radio – cablu coaxial – antenă). Dispozitivul realizează măsurarea puterii de emisie RF (putere direcționată pe linie, respectiv forward power și, după caz, componenta reflectată) și determinarea raportului de unde staționare (SWR – Standing Wave Ratio, adică raportul dintre unda electromagnetică transmisă către antenă și unda reflectată înapoi către sursa de emisie). SWR este un indicator al gradului de adaptare a impedanței dintre stație, linia de transmisie și antenă. În cazul unei neadaptări de impedanță, o parte din energia RF este reflectată către emițător, ceea ce determină creșterea valorii SWR și reducerea eficienței de radiație. Măsurarea simultană a puterii RF și a fenomenului de reflexie permite evaluarea comportamentului real al sistemului de antenă în condiții de emisie. Aparatul este pasiv, nu generează semnal propriu și se conectează în serie pe linia de transmisie, între stația radio și antenă, prin mufe coaxiale de radiofrecvență. Prin funcția sa, produsul reprezintă un instrument de măsură pentru analiza parametrilor de propagare în sisteme de telecomunicații RF, combinând măsurarea puterii de emisie cu evaluarea adaptării de impedanță (SWR), utilizat la reglajul și diagnosticarea sistemelor de antenă. În esență este un aparat special conceput pentru măsurarea parametrilor de funcționare ai sistemelor de telecomunicații RF (putere și coeficient de reflexie), utilizat la reglajul și diagnosticarea liniilor de transmisie și antenelor. Funcția aparatului: Aparat de măsură și control pentru verificarea parametrilor de emisie-recepție radio (măsurare SWR și putere RF). Gamă de frecvență: 1.5 - 150 MHz (optim pentru banda CB 26-30 MHz). Scală de putere: Două praguri selectabile: 0.5 - 10 W și 10 - 100 W. Impedanță: 50 Ohmi. Conectori: SO-239 (compatibili cu mufe PL-259). Acuratețe: SWR ± 5%, Putere ± 10%. Dimensiuni: 85 X 76 X 58 mm

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 9030.40.00 cover?
Code 9030.40.00 covers Other instruments and apparatus, specially designed for telecommunications (for example, cross-talk meters, gain measuring instruments, distortion factor meters, psophometers). Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 9030.40.00?
The third-country duty rate for 9030.40.00 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 9030.40.00?
The first six digits form the HS code: 903040. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 9030.40.00 have?
9030.40.00 has eight digits and matches the EU Combined Nomenclature. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 9030.40.00 sit in the tariff?
9030.40.00 sits in this hierarchy: 90 OPTICAL, PHOTOGRAPHIC, CINEMATOGRAPHIC, MEASURING, CHECKING, PRECISION, MEDICAL OR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND APPARATUS; PARTS AND ACCESSORIES THEREOF > 9030 Oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, cosmic or other ionising radiation > 903040 Other instruments and apparatus, specially designed for telecommunications (for example, cross-talk meters, gain measuring instruments, distortion factor meters, psophometers). The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 9030.40.00?
Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 9030.40.00, for example ROBTI2026-005384. 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 9030.40.00 a dual-use item?
The customs code alone does not decide that. An indicative correlation links 9030.40.00 to 3A002a, 3A002c, 3A002e, 3A002f, 3A501, 3A502, 5A001j, 3A002a. 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 9030.40.00 change?
9030.40.00 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
