2808000000—Nitric acid; sulphonitric acids
Data updated 22 Aug 2026
EU sanctions snapshot: 24 Apr 2026HS 2808000000 covers nitric acid; sulphonitric acids. As of the 24 Apr 2026 EU sanctions snapshot, no direct sanctions measures apply, but other EU controls are attached to this code. Export from the EU is dual-use controlled (taric_478) — a Regulation 2021/821 authorisation is required. The EU third-country duty rate is 5.5% — this is the rate for all third countries unless a preference applies. The code falls under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM): importers must report embedded emissions and, from 2026, surrender CBAM certificates. A ship / do-not-ship verdict depends on the specific route, counterparties, and end use — this page shows the restrictions attached to the code itself.
