CN chapter 32 and EU sanctions

Tanning or dyeing extracts; paints and varnishes; putty; inks

In chapter 32 of the Combined Nomenclature (Tanning or dyeing extracts; paints and varnishes; putty; inks), 14 CN codes are restricted by EU measures: 14 toward Russia and 14 toward Belarus. Determine the status of a single product on its code page, because the same chapter can hold both restricted and unrestricted entries.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is the whole of chapter 32 under sanctions?

    No. The annexes list specific entries rather than whole chapters, with few exceptions. This list contains only codes present in the goods annexes. A code from chapter 32 that is not here requires separate verification, because restrictions outside the CN database may apply, for example dual-use or entity-based bans.

  • How do I know whether it is an export or import ban?

    The direction follows from the article and annex where the code appears. The same code may be under an export ban to Russia and an import ban from Belarus at the same time. For every code we show the regime, annex, article and direction separately.
