For products to be released for free circulation within the tariff quotas under order numbers 09.0025, 09.0027 and 09.0033, the operator shall present to the competent authorities a certificate of authenticity as set out in Parts C, D and E of Annex II, issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin as listed in Annex IV and confirming the products’ specific characteristics as set out in Article 14.

However, in the case of concentrated orange juice, presentation of a certificate of authenticity may be replaced by presentation to the Commission before importation of a general attestation from the competent authority of the country of origin stating that concentrated orange juice produced therein contains no blood orange juice. The Commission shall then inform Member States by electronic means so that they can advise their customs services.
