HS code for hydraulic cylinders

Yes! Yes!, found it!; an HS code, within half an hour, no problem at all, no sleepless nights etc. Have to share this with you.

What was it this time? Hydraulic cylinders for a South African company. For the very few readers that belong to the population of South African hydraulic cylinder manufacturers wishing to export to the EU I have good news;

The correct HS code for Hydraulic Cylinders (system calls them ‘linear acting cylinders’) is: 84122100.
Customs duties are 0% for Cylinders with origin South Africa (plus many other developing countries).
You can check this information yourself via the following link; http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds/tarhome_en.htm.

If you scroll down on the webpage of the following link; http://ec.europa.eu/trade/issues/global/gsp/gspguide.htm you will find a checklist on how to profit as an exporter from the 0% tariff.

For the larger population that do not see themselves as a South African manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders; Sorry to bore you mate.
Wish you all a great weekend.
