Request for a binding tariff classification ruling
You can request confirmation of the tariff classification of a product before it is imported. This helps ensure that the tariff classification is correct.
A binding ruling means that the customs authorities cannot reassess import charges for the product covered by the ruling. Both the importer and Iceland Revenue and Customs are bound by the decision.
