DG GROW Seeks Feed­back on Pro­po­sed Ta­riff Sus­pen­sions

The European Commission's DG GROW has contacted stakeholders to gather input on proposed tariff suspensions for products classified under CN codes 84 and 85. Stakeholders are invited to review the list of goods under consideration and submit comments or objections by April 25th. This outreach underscores the EU's commitment to transparency and stakeholder engagement in trade policy decisions.

More information on each good for which a tariff suspension is being considered can be found at the following link.

Background on ta­riff sus­pen­sions

  • In cases where there are no or not enough raw materials or intermediate products within the EU or in Turkey needed for industrial production, companies can apply for reduced duty or exemption from duty for them. 
  • Tariff suspensions refer to total or partial waiver of the normal duties applied by the EU. 
  • A suspension can be granted for raw materials, semi finished goods and components used for industrial production, if they are not available within the EU.
  • If the above-mentioned goods are available within the Union, but there is not enough of them, an autonomous tariff quota can be granted for the missing quantity.
  • To apply for a tariff suspension, individual companies have to submit an application to National Customs Authorities (NCAs). 
  • Those applications that meet certain requirements are forwarded by NCAs to the European Commission
  • The applications are processed by the Economic Tariff Questions Group (ETQG), which has delegates from the Commission and from all Member States.
  • Tariff suspensions and autonomous tariff quotas are applied for and processed twice a year. The requests must be submitted to the Commission at the latest on 15 March for implementation on 1 January the following year 15 September for implementation on 1 July the following year.

Please provide feedback on the list to Akseli Koskela (contact information down below) by Thursday the 25th of April COB.
