Combined Nomenclature 2024 (and how we... classify dragons)

Adobe Stock

Editors’ word: 2024 is the year of the wood dragon (Chinese zodiac sign). How do we classify such a dragon? :-) We can start the discussion with wood and its products, among which we find a dragon tree* (4407 29), and an old legend says that when a dragon dies, it is reborn as a dragon tree... such an interesting fact in the run-up to the New Year. Despite the importance of dragons in 2024, we won't find anything new about them in next year's Combined Nomenclature. However, we invite you to take a look at the other changes - check for any new developments related to your imports or exports. Thank you to Virginija Dordzikienė for the overview.

Tariff classification of goods in the light of the latest technological developments
2024-08-04

The technological advances we have witnessed in recent times affect all areas of our lives. Customs is no exception. On the one hand, there are a large number of new products equipped with advanced technologies, including AI, that need to be classified, cleared and taxed upon import. On the other hand, customs authorities and private sector customs professionals are using the latest technologies for their professional purposes, in particular for tariff classification. How does this technology boom affect both sides of the customs industry? Does it make life easier for customs professionals or does it create new headaches? Experts from around the world tried to find answers to these complex questions during the 22nd Authors' Meeting. Below is an overview of the main points provided by experts from some of the EU Member States, the UK, Switzerland, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Israel.

Introduction of advance rulings system in Côte d’Ivoire
2024-06-14

In 2023, Côte d’Ivoire introduced a new and modern system of advance customs rulings. This development followed two workshops organised in Côte d’Ivoire in May 2023 with the German Alliance for Trade Facilitation and under the aegis of the EU-WCO Programme for the Harmonized System in Africa funded by the EU. The workshops were part of a wider capacity-building programme to support Côte d’Ivoire in meeting its WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement obligations - in particular, Article 3 of the TFA which requires signatory parties to provide an option to apply advance rulings on origin and classification.
