(ii) 

clearly identified as intended for human consumption;

(iii)

ANNEX I

▼M4

LIST OF COMPOSITE PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO OFFICIAL CONTROLS AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 3

This list sets out composite products according to the goods nomenclature in use in the Union to determine the selection of consignments that must be submitted to official controls at a border control post.

▼M2

Notes to the table:

▼M4 —————

▼M2

Note to Chapter

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.

Extract from the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes

Additional information on the different Chapters has been extracted, where necessary, from the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organisation from 2007.

Column (1) — CN code

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 ( 3 ) (‘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.

▼M4

Where 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.

▼M2

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, Ex  30 02 : 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.

Column (2) — Description

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.

▼M4

Column (3) — Qualification and explanation

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 ( 4 ).

▼M2

TABLE

Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the CN, the wording for the description of goods in column 2 is considered to be of indicative value only, since the goods covered by this Decision are determined, within this Annex, by CN codes.

Where there is an ‘Ex’ symbol in front of a CN code, the goods covered by this Decision are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of the corresponding description in column (2) and the qualification and explanation in column (3).

▼M4 —————

▼M2

CHAPTER 15

Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes

General remarks

All animal derived fats and oils. Specific requirements for the following products are set out in Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011:

1. 

rendered fats and fish oils in Row 3 of Table 1 of Section 1 of Chapter I;

2. 

rendered fats from Category 2 materials for certain purposes outside the feed chain for farmed animals (for example oleo chemical purposes) in Row 17 of Table 2 of Section 1 of Chapter II;

3. 

fat derivatives in Row 18 of Table 2 of Section 1 of Chapter II.

Fat derivatives include first stage products derived from fats and oils when in their pure state produced by a method set out in point 1 of Chapter XI of Annex XIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011.

Derivatives mixed with other materials are subjected to veterinary checks.

Notes to Chapter 15 (extract from the Notes to this Chapter of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) as laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87)

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) 

pig fat or poultry fat on heading 0209 ;

(b) 

cocoa butter, fat and oil (heading 1804 );

(c) 

edible preparations containing by weight more than 15 % of the products of heading 0405 (generally Chapter 21);

(d) 

greaves (heading 2301 ) or residues of headings 2304 to 2306 ;

3. Heading 1518 does not cover fats or oils or their fractions, merely denatured, which are classified in the heading appropriate to the corresponding undenatured fats and oils and their fractions.

4. Soap stocks, oil foots and dregs, stearin pitch, glycerol pitch and wool grease residues fall in heading 1522 .

Extract from the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes

Heading 1516 covers animal and vegetable fats and oils, which have undergone a specific chemical transformation of a kind mentioned below, but have not been further prepared.

The heading also covers similarly treated fractions of animal or vegetable fats and oils.

Hydrogenation, which is affected by bringing the products into contact with pure hydrogen at a suitable temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst (usually finely divided nickel), raises the melting points of fats and increases the consistency of oils by transforming unsaturated glycerides into saturated glycerides of higher melting points.

▼M3

Heading 1518 covers inedible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of the Chapter, not elsewhere specified or included.

This part covers, inter alia, used deep-frying oil containing, for example, rape oil, soya-bean oil and a small quantity of animal fat, for use in the preparation of animal feeds.

ANNEX II

▼M4

List of composite products not subject to official controls as referred to in point (b) of Article 6(1)

This list sets out composite products according to the goods nomenclature in use in the Union that do not need to be submitted to official controls at a border control post.

▼M3

Notes relating to the table:

Column (1) — CN code

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 Decision 87/369/EEC (‘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.

▼M4

Where a four digit code is used: unless otherwise specified, all composite products prefixed with or covered by these four digits are not required to be submitted to official controls at a border control post.

▼M3

Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code contain animal products and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked ex (for example, ex 2001 90 65 : veterinary checks not required for the products outlined in Column (2)).

▼M4

Column (2) — Explanation

This column gives details of the composite products covered by the derogation from official controls at border control posts. When necessary, official staff at border control posts must assess the ingredients of a composite product and specify, if the animal product contained in the composite product is sufficiently processed so as to not require the official checks provided for in Union legislation.
