MFN rates from the Combined Nomenclature and TARIC as published, without preferences, quotas, trade remedies or additional measures. Inferred works those out for each product and origin. Whether a product from this heading qualifies for a lower rate depends on each agreement's product-specific rule for it, under the agreements we cover.
