CN code 380892 covers fungicides put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles. Fungicides are used in plant protection, wood preservation, building material protection, and industrial applications to control mould and pathogenic fungi. Classification requires confirmation that the product is a fungicide in commercial form rather than a pure active substance which may be classified in Chapter 29 or 28. Fungicidal preparations may contain one or more active substances mixed with solvents, surfactants, and other formulation ingredients.

Importing fungicides into the EU requires meeting extensive regulatory requirements. Fungicides used as plant protection products are subject to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and may only be placed on the market after obtaining national authorisation. Fungicides used as biocides are subject to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Each preparation must be labelled according to CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) and have a safety data sheet. Active substances must be approved at EU level. Importing unregistered fungicides is prohibited.

The customs declaration under CN code 380892 must include trade name, active substance, concentration, formulation type, and intended use. Customs authorities may require a copy of the market authorisation. Plant protection products are subject to national inspection authority control. Biocide imports require notification to the relevant national authority. Duty rates and preferences are checked in TARIC.

CN code 3808 92 covers fungicides not classified under 3808 20, including wood preservatives, paint preservatives and building material treatments. Products require registration under BPR or PPP regulations depending on end use. Import documentation includes active substance identification, certificates of analysis, Safety Data Sheets and proof of registration. Customs controls may involve sampling for laboratory testing.
