Hi Guys,

I'm looking to ship some full Till lanes (Base unit/scanner/printer/cash drawer/customer display/peripherals) for a customer; to Las Palmas. While my boss is off.
But I need tariff codes for them.
I understand that if these are wrong the goods can be incinerated! :eek:

Has anyone had any experience in sending these before?
The Gov website isn't great. My guess is I will be looking under sections 84/85 & taking it from there?

Any help would be appreciated :D

The codes tell the customs guys what to expect and that there probably won't be specific additional taxes to pay(the EU harmonises the most common taxes in that if it's paid in one country it won't had to be paid again in another even if their tax rate is higher), but some items like alcohol and tobacco can I think still have additional fees if going to/from certain countries).
It means it;ll probably just gets a cursory check going through customs, whilst if it was from outside the EU it would have a proper check and then possibly held until taxes and clearing fees were paid.

This is the sort of thing where the codes will be identical in all the countries and if you were doing it on a regular basis it would just be part of the package labelling and documentation you'd print off anyway.
 
What a waste of time, another example of how tariffs damage the economy. Even when there is no tax applied the paperwork still costs businesses money.

How do you think nations would keep track of import/export statistics and trading values if no paperwork is done?

The system we have now is massively simplified to how it was pre-EU and how it's probably going to go back to once we leave.

Also what is legal in one country may not be in another.
So the code for "steak knife" will likely be different to "butter knife", "fishing knife", "folding knife", "Pocket knife under 3 inches" etc.

The idea of the codes is so that what is in a package or shipment can be known to a high degree of detail without necessarily opening up every one because it's got a vague description like "clock" (antique, grandfather, wall, digital, ****oo).
 
Haha yes they got sent ages ago, my boss did it when he was back... thing is my boss was then arrested (Guessing the time off was court in secret)
So I never knew what the codes were, until he was let out not to long ago and he told me, so I thought I would share :D

Wait what? Your boss was arrested - come on now that's a story needing told!
 
Canary Islands is like the Channel Islands - outside of Europe vat area so a customs declaration is required. Op would not need any of this to ship to Spain proper.
