Scope of the services to be provided

To provide services in relation to the implementation of the customs aspects of EU legislation, and the update and the maintenance of the integrated Tariff of the European Union (TARIC).

The TARIC is a database integrating measures relating to EU customs tariff, commercial and agricultural legislation in all official languages except Maltese and Irish.

The main goals of the TARIC are:

Automatic daily transmission to the national customs administrations of the Member States of TARIC data required for the implementation of EU legislation. These updates are received in electronic format by the Member States. The Member States use this data mainly to feed their national systems for customs clearance, with the goal of maximising automatic clearance. The Member States also use this data for the publication of their national tariffs.
Provide information and data to economic society: economic operators involved in import and export operations, software developers, public bodies, academia...

The TARIC database is maintained daily by the TARIC managers.

They analyse the legislation published or soon to be published and translate it into TARIC data that they capture in the TARIC database.

At 19:00 CET on every Commission working day, the updates made to the TARIC database during the working day are sent to the national administrations of the Member States and to other users of TARIC data (ex:
DG TRADE, external economic operators...).

The TARIC managers take also part in the review of Union legislation drafted by other Commission services (DG Trade, Enterprise and Industry, Agriculture and Rural Development, Maritime Affairs and Development, Fisheries...) and are consulted as to the applicability of certain aspects of the drafted legal acts in the customs field (e.

g:
goods description, classification, customs declaration...).

The TARIC managers examine the drafts for possible errors and suggest changes notably to ease the creation of the TARIC data required to implement the draft provisions once they enter into force.

The consultant will take on the role of a TARIC manager and his/her tasks will be centred on:

Implementing the European Union's acquis in the field of tariff, trade, and prohibitions & restrictions measures, in collaboration with other Commission services, Member States (and partner countries) and update the TARIC under the supervision of the Head of the TARIC Sector and of other statutory staff of the sector.
Analysing the customs aspects of EU legislation to assess if any TARIC data is required to implement this legislation in the customs systems of the Member States.
Creating and maintain the abovementioned TARIC data, notably in the field of:
Trade defence instruments (mainly anti-dumping and anti-subsidies measures)
Standard import values (SIV).
Additional duties, unit prices.
Import duties cereals and rice.
Euro Exchange rates.

The consultant will work for the Customs Tariff unit. S/he will be mainly responsible for keeping the TARIC database up to date. S/he must understand the TARIC codification from a business perspective.
