The Official Journal of the European Union recently published Regulation No. 33/2010, which provides new regulations on the classification of shoes, so that the EU can more clearly define the "upper" in the classification of shoes. The EU is one of the main export regions of Dongguan shoe enterprises. The customs reminds the export EU shoe enterprises to pay attention to this regulation to understand export Category and tax rate of.

The new regulation originates from the decision of the European Court of Justice

　　 european union Importers of imported products from abroad must pay a common tariff, and the rate of the common tariff varies according to the type and origin of the products. Recently, Regulation 33/2010 published in the Official Journal of the European Union clarified the terms used for different categories of shoes in the consolidated category, so as to facilitate the EU to assess the tax rate of each category of shoes.

Regulation 33/2010 was passed on the basis of the decision of the European Court of Justice on the interpretation of the tariff list of shoes. On May 22, 2008, at the request of the Danish Ministry of Taxation and EccoSkoA/S, a shoe trading company, the European Court of Justice interpreted the 6403 (shoes with leather uppers) and 6404 (shoes with textile uppers) in the consolidated category. Shoes traders claimed that the sandals should be classified as leather shoes, but the Ministry of Taxation mistakenly classified them as shoes with textile materials for making uppers. The classification will have an impact on the tariff. For example, according to the classification of the Ministry of Taxation, the tariff will increase by 9%.

As a result of this legal dispute, the European Court of Justice must interpret what the upper is to determine the classification of this sandal. The court emphasized that the decisive criterion for judging how products should be classified in the customs category is the objective characteristics and characteristics of products.
