Is HS code 8458.91 on the CHPL?

HS subheading 8458.91 covers other lathes for removing metal, numerically controlled. It is one of the 50 items on the Common High Priority List published by the US Bureau of Industry and Security. VetLane also screens the same code as Annex XL of Regulation (EU) 833/2014. Any national code that starts with 845891 (an EU CN code such as 84589100 or a US HTS code such as 8458910000) falls under this entry.

What tier 4.B means

What to check before you sell it

• The buyer, the consignee and the forwarder: screen each against the US, UK, EU and UN lists, near matches and transliterations included. A free account gives you 10 one-off checks a month.
• The destination: a buyer in a transit country, or a delivery address in a different country from the billing one, calls for more questions. See customer and destination screening.
• The contract: if you sell from the EU to a buyer outside the partner countries of Annex VIII, Article 12g of Regulation 833/2014 requires a "no re-export to Russia" clause for this item, as for every Annex XL code. UK and US guidance recommend an end-use statement. See end-use statements and clauses.
• The record: keep the date, the sources and the result of each check. See how a sealed audit trail works.
