Tariff Number Harmonization Number for Poker Chips (1 Viewer)

[ArielVer18]

Apparently, effectively July 1, 2021, all packages entering the EU allegedly require a tariff number. I think this number is also known as tariff code, harmonization number, or harmonized system code. Is this actually true? When I try to print a dummy label in Paypal it didn't throw an error when I left the HS code section blank.

If required, which tariff number should we use for poker chips? 9504.90.6000 is an exact match, which I know to never use. Should I use 9504.90.9080 to describe a generic toy?

9504.90.6000 is an exact match

I've used both and just recently 6000 again for the jeton DBs without any issues.

If transporting chips and racks via a freight carrier, these are the NMFC codes

I just imported a single chip using 950490 (Finnish customs used to require a ten digit code, but now they wanted only six). Obviously the chip hasn’t moved an inch since then, and who knows when it will.

The new way of taxing every small thing coming from outside the EU is just wonderful. eBay was even kind enough to charge the tax right when I made my purchase, only failing to inform the Finnish postal services of their IOSS number. So I still had to fill out the import form, letting the customs know that IOSS number, which by the way wasn’t readily available anywhere at least that I could find. Of course I’m still happy eBay charged the tax beforehand, because now I didn’t have to pay the postal service’s yucky fee, which would have pushed the total price for this $12 chip well over $30. Inflation is real.
