Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date.

Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
1.In cases where a visual check fails to establish that the products correspond to the description given in the export refunds nomenclature, and where classification or the quality of the products requires very precise information about the ingredients thereof, the customs office of export shall verify that description according to the nature of the product.
2.Where the customs office of export deems it necessary, it shall carry out tests by laboratories specially equipped and accredited or officially approved for that purpose, stating the grounds for such tests. Where the refund rate or other amounts depend on the level of a particular component, as part of the physical check the customs office of export shall take representative samples with a view to having the composition analysed by an accredited or officially approved laboratory.
Where the same exporter regularly exports a product with the same export refund nomenclature code or combined nomenclature code and the refund rate depends on the level of a particular component, the customs office of export may take representative samples in only 50 % of physical checks on that exporter provided that the laboratory tests during the past six months have revealed no non-conformities having financial consequences greater than EUR 1 000 of the gross amount of the refund with respect to that exporter. If laboratory testing detects a non-conformity having financial consequences greater than EUR 1 000 on the gross amount of the refund with respect to that exporter, the customs office of export shall take samples for all physical checks on that exporter in the following six months.
3.The checks referred to in this Article shall be carried out without prejudice to any measures which the customs authorities may take to ensure that the products leave the customs territory in the same state as when the export authorisation was granted.
4.The customs office of export shall ensure compliance with Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999. Where there are specific grounds for suspecting the sound, fair and marketable quality of a product, the customs office of export shall verify compliance with the applicable Community provisions, in particular those relating to animal and plant health.
5.Physical checks on bulk products, on packed products, and on goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, shall be carried out taking account of the methods set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
