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.

Definition and scope of subheading 842930

Subheading 842930 of the Combined Nomenclature covers self-propelled scrapers (motorscrapers). These are earthmoving machines that scrape, load, transport and spread soil in a single operating cycle. The scraper has a bowl with a cutting edge that cuts into the ground during travel, filling the bowl. Transport takes place on large pneumatic tyres. Scrapers are used in large earthworks, highway, airport and dam construction. Classification requires distinguishing from bulldozers (842911, 842919), loaders (842951) and dump trucks (8704). The criterion is the integrated scraping, loading, transporting and spreading function. The GIR, rules 1 and 6, form the basis.

Import requirements for scrapers (842930)

Importing scrapers under 842930 into the EU is governed by the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 requiring CE marking. Engines must meet Stage V NRMM standards. Outdoor Noise Directive 2000/14/EC requires noise marking. The importer must hold an EORI number. Required documents include a commercial invoice, transport document, technical specification, CE declaration, engine emission certificate and proof of origin. Transport of scrapers requires special trailers due to dimensions.

Customs duties and trade measures for subheading 842930

MFN duty rates for scrapers under 842930 should be verified in TARIC. Scrapers are very high-value machines. Used machines require engine emission verification. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to EU sanctions. National VAT is charged. All rates should be verified in TARIC.

Emission standards and environmental rules for 8429 30

Earth-moving machinery under CN 8429 30 (self-propelled scrapers) with combustion engines must comply with NRMM Stage V emission standards per Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, covering particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). Importers must present engine type-approval certificates. Machinery with engines not meeting Stage V cannot be placed on the EU market. Electric and hybrid self-propelled scrapers are increasingly common and exempt from NRMM limits but must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.

Frequently asked questions

What products are covered by subheading 842930?
Subheading 842930 covers self-propelled scrapers (motorscrapers) that scrape, load, transport and spread soil in one cycle. Bulldozers are classified under 842911/842919, loaders under 842951. The criterion is the integrated multi-stage function. Duty rates in TARIC.
What emission standards apply to scrapers (842930)?
Scraper engines must comply with Stage V NRMM emission standards under Regulation (EU) 2016/1628. Standards cover PM, NOx, HC and CO. Import with engines below Stage V is restricted. Outdoor Noise Directive 2000/14/EC requires guaranteed noise level marking.
What documents are required for importing scrapers?
Importing requires a commercial invoice, transport document, EORI number, technical specification, CE declaration, NRMM Stage V engine certificate and proof of origin. Scrapers require special transport due to dimensions. Duty rates in TARIC.
Are electric self-propelled scrapers (8429 30) subject to NRMM emission standards?
Purely electric machinery under CN 8429 30 is exempt from NRMM emission standards (Regulation (EU) 2016/1628), which only apply to combustion engines.
