The first 6 digits are the international HS code, so their meaning is the same in every country; Brazil publishes the text in Portuguese. Digits 7 and 8 are Brazil's own split of that HS code. The full 8-digit code is used on import declarations (DUIMP), invoices (NF-e) and tax filings.

Questions about NCM 2710.12.60

What is NCM 2710.12.60?

NCM 2710.12.60 (27101260) is the Brazilian (Mercosur) code for low-aromatic saturated hydrocarbon mix (light). Its official Portuguese description is “Mistura de hidrocarbonetos acíclicos e cíclicos, saturados, derivados de frações de petróleo, que contenha, em peso, menos de 2 %, de hidrocarbonetos aromáticos, cuja curva de destilação, segundo o método ISO 3405 (equivalente ao método ASTM D 86), apresenta um ponto inicial mínimo de 70 °C e uma fração de destilado igual ou superior a 90 %, em volume, a 210 °C”.

What is the HS code for NCM 2710.12.60?

HS 2710.12 (Petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals, not containing biodiesel, not crude, not waste oils; preparations n.e.c, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or oils from bituminous minerals; light oils and preparations). The first 6 digits of an NCM code are its international HS code; the last 2 digits are Brazil's own split.

Is an NCM code the same as an HS code?

The first 6 digits are the same in every country. NCM adds an item digit (7th) and a subitem digit (8th). A code ending in 00 means Brazil does not split that HS code further.

Which countries use NCM 2710.12.60?

All Mercosur members use the same NCM codes: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
