Binding Tariff Information - system for implementing the Common Customs Tariff. The information is issued to economic operators by the customs authorities of the European Union ( EU) Member States. Thus, traders will know, in advance, the tariff classification of the goods they intend to import or export. This information is introduced into a data-base run by the European Commission ( EC) and is legally valid in all Member States, regardless of the Member State which issued it.
