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 characteristics and classification

CN code 340490 covers other artificial and prepared waxes 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.

Chemical regulations and environmental protection

Import of goods under CN code 340490 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.

Practical guidance for importers

Customs declarations for imports under CN code 340490 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.

Classification of artificial and prepared waxes

Importing artificial and prepared waxes (CN 3404 90) requires correct tariff classification, as waxes may fall under various headings (2712, 3404, 3405) depending on composition and intended use. Waxes for food contact must comply with Regulation 1935/2004. Polyethylene, paraffin, and microcrystalline waxes have different duty rates. REACH registration is required for volumes above 1 tonne per year. An SDS and Certificate of Analysis should accompany each shipment to ensure traceability.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main applications of products under CN code 340490?
Other artificial and prepared waxes are used primarily in the candles, coatings, and cosmetics. 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 340490?
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.
