NEW : Apply for a BTI decision through the EU customs trader portal
As of 1 October 2019, all BTI-related processes are electronic and economic operators have to introduce all new applications electronically. See ‘Apply for a BTI decision’ for more information.
The rate that must be paid – and any related requirements, such as import/export certificates – depends on the tariff classification applicable to the product.
To have legal certainty in advance that you are applying the correct classification to your goods, you should apply for a Binding Tariff Information (BTI) decision.
