    (Case C-210/22)

    (2022/C 257/29)

    Language of the case: German

    Referring court

    Finanzgericht Hamburg

    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicant: Stappert Deutschland GmbH

    Defendant: Hauptzollamt Hanover

    Questions referred

    1.

    Does the term ‘hollow profiles’ in the rule of origin on subheading 7304 41 HS of Annex 22-01 UCC-DR, (1) which makes the acquisition of origin conditional on the ‘change from hollow profiles of subheading 7304 49’ (Rule of Origin for Hollow Profiles), cover hot-formed primary material under subheading 7304 49 HS, straight and of uniform wall thickness, which does not meet the requirements of a technical standard for seamless hot-formed stainless steel pipes and from which pipes with a different cross-section and wall thickness are produced by way of cold working?

    2.

    If the first question is answered in the negative or need not be answered: does the Rule of Origin for Hollow Profiles infringe Article 60(2), and 284 UCC (2) and 290 TFEU because

    (a)

    it lacks reasons,

    (b)

    it is too vague or

    (c)

    machining processes are excluded from the determination of origin, which would confer origin under Article 60(2) UCC [?]

    3.

    If the second question referred is answered in the affirmative: is the acquisition of origin of goods in subheading 7304 41 HS in the main proceedings determined in accordance with the rule of origin for subheading 7304 41 HS of Annex 22-01 UCC-DR ‘CTH’, the residual rule of Chapter 73 HS in Annex 22-01 UCC-DR or in accordance with Article 60(2) UCC?
