Classification checks for gym and fitness equipment
HS 950691 covers articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics or athletics. Parts, sports-specific equipment and medical rehabilitation devices may classify elsewhere.

Worked import-cost example
This illustration uses €1,000.00 of goods, €75.00 shipping and €25.00 insurance. The illustration treats goods, shipping and insurance to the EU border as the planning customs value.
| Scenario | Rate | Duty | Import tax | Illustrative total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evidenced base rate | 2.7% | €29.70 | Use member-state rate | Duty-only total shown below |
Goods, shipping, insurance and duty total €1,129.70 before destination import VAT.
Tax limitation: No single EU import VAT rate exists. The worked total therefore stops at duty; use the rate and rules of the member state of import.
Change the shipment values or origin
The estimator can compare the base line with any imported preference or trade-measure evidence.
You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.
Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.
How this was worked out
Duty basis: loading duty data.
VAT/GST basis: loading VAT/GST data
Extra duties are included only where the available data matches this product and route.
Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
