What is Binding Tariff Information (BTI)?

Binding Tariff Information (BTI) is the written classification decisions issued by customs authorities in the EU that ensure the accuracy of your goods commodity code.

Generally, a BTI is valid for 3 years. Other than expiry, any change in customs legislation can also lead to non-compliance with BTI.

If a BTI is invalidated due to changes in legislation in the EU, the traders may be entitled to a grace period. If accepted, this enables traders to complete any legally binding agreements made using that BTI.

Benefits of BTI:

BTI is beneficial for the traders in the following ways:

  • Legal assurance about tariff classification decisions.
  • Uniformity in how the classification rules are applied across the EU.
