Product description and tariff heading

CN code 340111 covers toilet soap in solid form classified under Chapter 34 of the Combined Nomenclature. Classification is based on chemical composition, commercial form, and intended use.

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 340111 into the EU is subject to the REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) and CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008).
