CN chapter 85 and EU sanctions

Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and image recording and reproducing equipment

In chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature (Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and image recording and reproducing equipment), 138 CN codes are restricted by EU measures: 105 toward Russia and 94 toward Belarus. Determine the status of a single product on its code page, because the same chapter can hold both restricted and unrestricted entries.

ex 8506‘Primary cells’ or batteries and components having an energy density of 150 Wh/kg or more at 293 K (20 °C) Technical Notes: 1. For the purposes of this control, ‘energy density’ (Wh/kg) is calculated from the nominal voltage multiplied by the nominal capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) divided by the mass in kilograms. If the nominal capacity is not stated, energy density is calculated from the nominal voltage squared then multiplied by the discharge duration in hours divided by the discharge load in ohms and the mass in kilograms. 2. For the purposes of this control, a ‘cell’ is defined as an electrochemical device, which has positive and negative electrodes, an electrolyte, and is a source of electrical energy. It is the basic building block of a battery. 3. For the purposes of this control, a ‘primary cell’ is a ‘cell’ that is not designed to be charged by any other source.Iran (military support to Russia), Belarus, Russiaexport

Frequently asked questions

  • Is the whole of chapter 85 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 85 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.
