High-level summary
Supporting glossary source for customs, importer, origin, and importation concepts reused across other EU regulations such as CBAM and EUDR.
The Union Customs Code is not a battery-specific flagship regulation, but it is a backbone source for trade and border concepts that other EU frameworks reuse. For Minespider, it helps explain the deeper legal logic behind importer, customs, origin, and release-for-free-circulation terminology.

- Importers and customs-facing economic operators
- Compliance teams working on CBAM, EUDR, or other border-related regulation
