CN code 380290 covers other activated natural mineral products classified under Chapter 38 of the Combined Nomenclature. Classification is based on chemical composition, commercial form, and intended use. Notes to Chapter 38 specify the scope of individual subheadings. Customs clearance requires proper product identification based on technical documentation, analytical certificates, and commercial specifications. Import of such products into the EU requires compliance with tariff and non-tariff requirements under EU regulations. Potential trade policy measures such as anti-dumping duties or tariff quotas that may affect import costs should also be considered.

Import of goods under CN code 380290 into the EU is subject to the REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) and CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). The importer must ensure ECHA registration of each substance. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with Regulation (EU) 2020/878 is required. These products may also be subject to specific regulations for miscellaneous chemical products of Chapter 38. CLP labelling must include hazard pictograms, signal words, H and P statements. Transport is subject to ADR/RID regulations. These substances are not subject to CBAM. Storage must comply with environmental and occupational health and safety requirements.

Customs declarations for imports under CN code 380290 should include full specification, CAS numbers, commercial form, and intended use. Importers may benefit from tariff preferences under EU trade agreements or the GSP system. Rate verification in the TARIC database is recommended before each transaction. Export may require verification under the Dual-Use Export Control Regulation (EU) 2021/821. Quality control should include chemical composition testing, specification compliance, and safety requirements verification.

Importing Other activated natural mineral products (CN 3802 90) requires correct tariff classification in TARIC, as duty rates may vary by specific subheading. Chemical substances from Chapter 38 are subject to REACH — importers must ensure substance registration or use the EU supplier's registration number. A Safety Data Sheet in the local language is mandatory. Quality control upon receipt should include verification of parameters against the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Storage conditions must match the product's CLP classification requirements.
