Electronic customs tariff We determine your commodity codes with precision

Our enhanced Electronic Customs Tariff, FORMAT‑EZT, forms the foundation for customs processing across all import and export procedures — whether you manage it independently or integrate it into our solutions.

Our FORMAT‑EZT uses the same data source and supports you in correctly determining import duties as well as applying preferences and customs reliefs. This ensures reliable classification and full compliance with the regulations, requirements and provisions of the customs authorities.

Functions

You can use FORMAT’s EZT either as a standalone tool or integrated into applications from the FORMAT product suite.

When integrated into FORMAT’s customs processing systems — including ATLAS — FORMAT‑EZT delivers outstanding support. It actively assists you with prompts and warnings.

  • Export: Displays export restrictions up to and including export prohibitions.
  • Import: Warns when specific documents are mandatory (e.g. import licences) and highlights potential duty reductions where certain documents can be provided.

EZT is updated daily via an automated update service, providing both general and country-specific information such as duty rates, preferences, regulations and much more.

The underlying source is the EU’s TARIC database, supplemented by national provisions and requirements.
