The ECT (Electronic Customs Tariff) is an important tool for importers and exporters, which is offered by the customs administration via the database ECT-online on the Internet. This database contains all relevant information on the basic customs tariff and other customs regulations. With the help of the so-called goods tariff number, all the important information and relevant measures that must be observed when importing and exporting goods can be researched by specifying the import or export country – including licensing requirements, the third country customs rate and export refund measures.
