2023 VERSION OF THE COMBINED NOMENCLATURE

On 31 October, the European Commission published the latest version of the Combined Nomenclature (CN), which becomes applicable as from 1 January 2023. The CN is a vital working tool for business and the Member States' customs administrations, as it forms the basis for the declaration of goods at import and export, or when subject to intra-Union trade statistics.

The Combined Nomenclature was established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff. It is updated every year and is published as a Commission Implementing Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, L Series. The latest version is now available as Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1998 in EU Official Journal L 282 of 31 October 2022.
