Import Duties 

Import duties are government-imposed taxes on goods brought into the country.

There are no duties or import taxes for orders sent to countries in the EU.

For the UK, the import will be done by our daughter company Meridian Technique Ltd. We will handle the administration directly with the UK authorities and shipping companies. All the import costs involved will be included in the price during the checkout process.

For other countries duties or import taxes are not included in the cost of shipping. Contact the customs office in the country of destination for more information about applicable duties or taxes. 

The amount of the import tax is determined by the classification of the traded product, and this is done based on a code we indicate on the shipment document, the so-called 'harmonized code'.

 Harmonized codes (HS)

Harmonized System (HS) codes serve as an internationally standardized classification system for identifying products during customs processing. Customs authorities use HS codes to determine the applicable duties, taxes, and fees for imported goods.

HS codes typically consist of six digits but may be extended by individual countries for more specific classifications. You can identify the appropriate HS code for your product using online resources such as Access2Markets or by consulting customs representatives.

Proposed HS Codes for EU export
Below, we provide suggested HS codes for your guidance. However, please note that these codes are for informational purposes only, and it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the correct HS code is used during import clearance. We recommend instructing your customs broker accordingly. By understanding and managing HS codes correctly, you can ensure smoother customs processing and avoid unnecessary delays or penalties.
