Customs Tariff - CN
| Full title: | Customs Tariff, 2018 |
| Abbreviation: | CT 2018 |
| Originating authority: | Government of Montenegro |
| Legal basis: | Based on Article 8 of the Law on Customs Tariffs ("Official Journal of RCG" No. 28/12), the Government of Montenegro, at its meeting of 28 December 2017, adopted the Regulation on Harmonization of the Customs Tariff for 2018. This regulation harmonizes the nomenclature of the Customs Tariff with the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union for 2018, which is applied to the classification of products in the Customs Tariff. |
| Implementation period: | Customs Tariff nomenclature is revised annually and its implementation date is always 1 January. Therefore, CT 2018 was operational from 1 January to 31 December 2018. |
| Structure: | About 14,400 titles (of which 9,300 are CT subheadings) are organized into five hierarchical levels: Level 1: Sections – coded with Roman numerals Level 2: Chapters – identified by two-digit numeric code Level 3: Headings – identified by four-digit numeric code Level 4: HS subheadings – identified by six-digit numeric code Level 5: CT subheadings – identified by eight-digit numeric code |
| Detailed description: | The customs tariff represents harmonized European customs nomenclature for the exchange of goods adopted by the European Union in 1989. The Customs Tariff of Montenegro, or Combined Nomenclature, is fully compliant with the EU CN. CT tariff classification to the first six levels is based on the Harmonized System description and coding of products 2017 (HS), while the seventh and eighth digits indicate CT subheadings. CT is updated every year to reflect technological developments and changes in trade flows. The nomenclature is based on the Harmonized System of product description and coding 2017 (HS), used in foreign trade to provide a single harmonized nomenclature and classification for all participants in foreign trade. The Harmonized System contains 21 sections, 97 chapters, 1,221 headings and 5,052 tariff lines, and it is updated every five years. A very large number of subdivisions within the CN were introduced bearing in mind specific EU customs and foreign trade statistics requirements. |
