Question 1

What is the EAC Common External Tariff (CET) 2022?

Accepted Answer

The EAC CET 2022 is the common customs tariff schedule applied by East African Community partner states — Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and the DRC — implementing the Harmonized System with 0%, 10%, 25% and 35% duty bands.

Question 2

How do I find the HS code for my product?

Accepted Answer

Describe the product or upload a photo in Tarifact. It classifies the goods against the full EAC CET 2022 schedule using the WCO General Rules of Interpretation, Section and Chapter Notes, and returns an 8-digit HS code with the applicable duty rate and legal justification.

Question 3

Is a Tarifact classification legally binding?

Accepted Answer

No. Tarifact results are AI-assisted and for reference. For a binding determination, apply for an Advance Tariff Ruling from your national revenue authority (KRA, URA, TRA, RRA or OBR).
