Combined Nomenclature code
Digits 1-4 · Heading—
Technical
Threaded fastener of iron/steel → Section XV, Ch. 73, heading 7318 (screws & bolts).
Why not
7326 - other articles of steel; too general for a threaded fastener.
Digits 5-6 · Subheading—
Technical
Headed screw, not a wood or coach screw → 'other screws & bolts', subheading 7318 15 (per EBTI practice).
Why not
7318 14 self-tapping (legacy, narrower) · 7318 11 coach screws.
Digits 7-8 · CN subdivision—
Technical
Carbon steel, not stainless → residual 'other' position at 8-digit level, CN 7318 15 90.
Why not
7318 1581 - reserved for stainless steel; excluded, material is carbon steel.
Digits 9-10 · TARIC subdivision—
Technical
No further TARIC split for CN 7318 15 90 → '00' completes the 10-digit code required for customs declarations.
Other screws & bolts, of iron or steel7318 1400 00 → 7318 1590 00

Platform

The code is only the start.

Once the code is set, so are the obligations for a product. kolum identifies them directly from every confirmed code and handles them on one platform, using the same article, supplier and import data. You enter it once, kolum takes care of the rest.

  • ✓Obligations visible per code instantly
  • ✓Easily meet every resulting compliance obligation
  • ✓One change to a code updates affected modules
  • ✓Customs filings as the next solution
How it works

Four minutes. The whole workflow.

From product description to reasoning to bulk check.

FAQ

Tariff classification, answered.

What is tariff classification?
Assigning the correct CN and TARIC codes to your goods. It is the foundation that CBAM, EUDR, UK CBAM and customs processes all rely on.
How does kolum suggest a code?
You describe the good in free text, or drop in an image, file or URL. kolum proposes the correct Combined Nomenclature code with stepwise reasoning and the correct application of the General Interpretative Rules, and shows EBTI precedents where comparable goods were classified the same way. You review and accept every classification.
Can I check my existing master data?
Yes. Run a bulk check across your complete article master data to find missing codes, flag outdated ones and export the results straight back to your ERP.
Does it work with the rest of kolum?
Yes. Classification runs on the same platform and shared data as EU CBAM, UK CBAM, EUDR and PPWR, so every code immediately shows which obligations it triggers.
What does tariff classification cost?
100 classifications are included in every kolum account. Beyond that, you pay by usage. We go through the details in the demo.
10 or 11 digits?
By default kolum classifies to the 10-digit EU TARIC code, validated against the official nomenclature. The 11-digit EZT code for German companies is available on request.
I'm already a kolum customer. What changes?
Nothing. Your TARIC or EZT setting stays as it is, and the 100 included classifications count those you have already used.
Do I need kolum if I have no CBAM or EUDR obligations?
Tariff classification works on its own. And if a code later does trigger an obligation, the platform is already there for it.

One code.
Every obligation.

Get every CN and TARIC code right, and see exactly which obligations follow from it.
