Other entries retain the historical GCC reference. National codes, duty notes, restrictions and tax treatment can differ; verify with the destination customs authority.

Data source: WITS/UNCTAD TRAINS (MFN 2022). Values are indicative HS6 MFN averages, not shipment-specific applied rates. Import permission and restrictions are not assessed.
