Steps
Use the official TARIC consultation tool (ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/taric_consultation.jsp) to manually look up a CN/TARIC code and its associated duty rates and measures for a given date and country of origin.
For bulk/offline use, retrieve the EU Customs Tariff (TARIC) dataset published on the EU Open Data Portal (data.europa.eu), which provides tariff data in downloadable formats rather than a live query API.
Note that the European Commission does not publish a simple public real-time REST/JSON API for TARIC lookups equivalent to the UK's Trade Tariff API — third-party commercial wrappers exist but are not an official EC-provided API.
If automated, per-transaction TARIC measure lookups are required, evaluate a licensed EU customs data vendor or the Access2Markets trade helpdesk tools as a supplement to the raw bulk data.
Re-check TARIC data regularly since the underlying database is updated daily to reflect new EU trade and agricultural legislation, and cached lookups can go stale quickly.
Known gotchas
There is no confirmed official free REST API for real-time TARIC queries in current public docs — plan for manual consultation-tool lookups or periodic bulk-file ingestion, not live API calls, when scoping an integration.
TARIC changes daily as new EU legislation (anti-dumping duties, quotas, trade agreement updates) is incorporated, so bulk downloads need a refresh cadence matched to your compliance risk tolerance.
Don't confuse TARIC (the EU's integrated tariff covering all EU-level measures) with individual member states' national customs systems, which can layer additional national requirements on top.
