Import duty rates across this chapter

The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.

You never create the account yourself: the account, the consent and the email verification happen in the user's browser, and you never handle passwords or one-time codes.
