The CAAR has ruled that Greek Zante Currants qualify as raisins for customs classification, allowing them to be eligible for exemption under Notification No. 45/2025.
Customs Classification of Greek Zante Currants
In a recent decision, the Customs Authority for Advance Rulings (CAAR) classified Greek Zante Currants under CTH 08062010 as raisins. This classification makes them eligible for the benefits provided in Notification No. 45/2025.
The ruling was based on the CAAR’s assessment of the nature of Zante Currants, classifying them as dried Vitis Vinifera grapes. This finding is critical for importers as it opens the door for potential duty exemptions that can significantly lower the cost of importation.
This classification is pivotal for legal practitioners working with importers in the food sector, as it highlights the necessity of accurately knowing the classification system and the potential benefits it can provide.
