TARIC is a native tool in meinGPT that provides access to the EU customs tariff database from zolltarifnummern.de.

Main functions

  • Language selection: German, English or French
  • Optional: year for historical data

Find customs offices

• builtin-taric-offices-suggest: Searches for customs offices by name or location
  • Matches by name/location similarity, not by geographic proximity

Look up terminology

  • Results are links to web pages with the full definition

Retrieve duty rates

• builtin-taric-duties: Retrieves duty rate information for a specific tariff number
