F2 Deleted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2007 of 18 November 2019 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the lists of animals, products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and derived products and hay and straw subject to official controls at border control posts and amending Decision 2007/275/EC (Text with EEA relevance).
2. Note to Chapter U.K.
These chapter notes are explanations, where necessary extracted, from the Notes to the individual Chapters of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) as laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87.
3. Extract from the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes U.K.
Additional information on the different Chapters has been extracted, where necessary, from the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organisation from 2007.
4. Column (1) — CN code U.K.
This column indicates the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the international Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) drawn up by the Customs Cooperation Council, now the World Customs Organisation (WCO), adopted by the International Convention, concluded in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved on behalf of the European Economic Community by Council Decision 87/369/EEC (1) (‘the HS Convention’). The CN reproduces the headings and subheadings of the HS to six digits, with only the seventh and eighth figures creating further subheadings which are specific to it.
[F3Where a four digit code is used: unless otherwise specified, all products prefixed with or covered by these four digits must be submitted to official controls at a border control post. In most of these cases, the relevant CN codes included in the Traces system referred to in Article 133(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 are broken down to the six or eight digit code.]
Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code are required to be submitted to veterinary checks and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked Ex (for example, Ex3002 : veterinary checks required only for animal derived material, including hay and straw, and not for the entire heading, subheading or CN code). The relevant codes are also included in the Traces system.
5. Column (2) — Description U.K.
The description of the goods is as laid down in the description column of the CN in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87. For further explanation of the exact coverage of the Common Customs Tariff, please refer to the latest amendment to that Annex.
[F36. Column (3) — Qualification and explanation U.K.
This column gives details of the products covered. Further information on the composite products covered in the different Chapters of the CN can be found in the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) .] ]
