    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicant: KAHL GmbH & Co. KG

    Defendant: Hauptzollamt Hannover

    Questions referred

    1.

    Are the Explanatory Notes to subheading 1521 9099 (1) of the Combined Nomenclature (2) applicable in so far as the word ‘geschmolzen’ [melted] is used?

    2.

    If the first question referred is answered in the negative, is the term ‘raw’ within the meaning of subheading 1521 9091 of the Combined Nomenclature to be interpreted as meaning that beeswax which has been melted down in the exporting country and from which foreign bodies have been mechanically separated during the process of melting it down, whereby some foreign bodies still remain in beeswax, must be classified under that subheading?


    (1)  Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (OJ 2019 C 119, p. 1).
