BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Product description and tariff heading

CN code 340391 covers preparations for treatment of textile materials classified under Chapter 34 of the Combined Nomenclature. Classification is based on chemical composition, commercial form, and intended use. Notes to Chapter 34 specify the scope of individual subheadings. Customs clearance requires proper product identification based on technical documentation, analytical certificates, and commercial specifications. Import of such products into the EU requires compliance with tariff and non-tariff requirements under EU regulations. Potential trade policy measures such as anti-dumping duties or tariff quotas that may affect import costs should also be considered.

Importer regulatory obligations in the EU

Import of goods under CN code 340391 into the EU is subject to the REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) and CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). The importer must ensure ECHA registration of each substance. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with Regulation (EU) 2020/878 is required. These products may also be subject to the Detergents Regulation (EC) 648/2004 and Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) 528/2012. CLP labelling must include hazard pictograms, signal words, H and P statements. Transport is subject to ADR/RID regulations. These substances are not subject to CBAM. Storage must comply with environmental and occupational health and safety requirements.

Customs documentation and trade preferences

Customs declarations for imports under CN code 340391 should include full specification, CAS numbers, commercial form, and intended use. Importers may benefit from tariff preferences under EU trade agreements or the GSP system. Rate verification in the TARIC database is recommended before each transaction. Export may require verification under the Dual-Use Export Control Regulation (EU) 2021/821. Quality control should include chemical composition testing, specification compliance, and safety requirements verification.

Technical standards and lubricant specifications

Importing lubricating preparations (CN 3403 91) requires compliance with ISO and DIN technical standards. Lubricants and lubricating oils must have an SDS and CLP classification. Metal-working preparations are subject to REACH restrictions on SVHC substances. Food-grade lubricants require NSF H1 certification. Transport conditions depend on ADR classification. Quality control includes testing viscosity, flash point, and metal content. Duty rates depend on composition and intended application.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main applications of products under CN code 340391?
Preparations for treatment of textile materials are used primarily in the textile industry and fashion. Specific use depends on the composition and commercial form. Tariff classification is not dependent on end use but on objective product characteristics at the time of customs clearance.
Does import of these products require special permits?
Generally, import does not require separate import permits beyond standard REACH and CLP obligations. For SVHC substances or those subject to REACH authorisation, additional permits may be required. Substance status should be verified in the ECHA database.
How to verify correct classification under code 340391?
Classification can be confirmed by obtaining Binding Tariff Information (BTI) from the customs authority. A BTI is valid for 3 years and binds customs authorities in all EU Member States. Consulting a customs agency or tariff advisor is also recommended.
What certifications are needed for lubricants CN 3403 91?
Importing lubricants (CN 3403 91) requires an SDS, CLP classification, and possibly NSF H1 certification for food contact. Industrial lubricants are subject to REACH.
