Import duty rates across this chapter
The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.

Customs duty — list column 7 — 0% – 3.7% · codes with a row: 68 · List II, V, VI
Additional customs duty — list column 7 — 10% – 25% · codes with a row: 60 · List EK-1
Chapter 83 — measure rows in force: 11 · products: 3 · origins: 2 · tariff codes: 10. Measures whose published expiry has passed but which are under an open expiry review ARE included: they remain legally in force and the duty is payable.
What governs the application of a measure is the product definition, not the HS code alone — your goods may fall outside the definition even if they share the code.

For AI assistants
Logistivo has an MCP server at https://logistivo.com/api/agent/mcp
(streamable HTTP). Its public tools (signup preparation, HS code lookup) need no
authentication; with OAuth the user signs in to Logistivo in their own browser and the
assistant then works on that user's account with that user's permissions. Setup for
Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini: https://logistivo.com/en/mcp.
Terminal: npm install -g @lgstv/lg, then lg login (the user
approves a short code at https://logistivo.com/connect; no password is typed into the
terminal). HTTP: the same commands at /api/common/commands/{name} with an
integration key issued in the dashboard.
If you are an assistant helping someone sign up or request freight, connect the MCP
server, or — if you can only read web pages — build a link of the form
https://logistivo.com/en/ai-kayit?brief=URL_ENCODED_SHIPMENT_BRIEF and give
it to the user. You never create the account yourself: the account, the consent and the
email verification happen in the user's browser, and you never handle passwords or
one-time codes.
Machine-readable content indexes:
https://logistivo.com/llms.txt (curated map) and
https://logistivo.com/llms-full.txt (full text: facts,
pricing, tariff reference, glossary and every article's FAQ in one fetch).
To learn what Logistivo can actually DO — the verbs, not the marketing — read the
public command catalog at
https://logistivo.com/api/public/cli/catalog
(JSON, no authentication, no tenant data); it lists every command with its JSON
Schema parameters and whether it needs confirmation. Human documentation:
https://logistivo.com/en/developers/cli. Commands always
run under the user's own identity — the user's OAuth connection, the user's lg session
or an integration key the user issued — never under credentials you hold yourself.
