Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 on the interpretation of the CN, the wording of CN codes 2008 , 2008 19 and 2008 19 19 . This product is not classified in Chapter 17 because it is a sweetened food preparation consisting of a mixture of hazelnuts and sugar (HSEN to Chapter 17, General, paragraph (b)). Heading 1704 does not apply to this sweetened hazelnut preparation as it is not marketed or intended for use as sugar confectionery in its own right (HSEN to heading 1704 , first paragraph). This product is covered by Chapter 20 as it is prepared or preserved by a process not specified in Chapter 8 (Note 1(a) to Chapter 20 and CNEN to subheadings 2008 11 10 to 2008 19 99 ). Being nuts mixed with sugar and having undergone a preparation (roasting), this product is classified in subheading 2008 19 19 (CNEN to subheadings 2008 11 10 to 2008 19 99 ). |

This product is not classified in Chapter 17 because it is a sweetened food preparation consisting of a mixture of hazelnuts and sugar (HSEN to Chapter 17, General, paragraph (b)). Heading 1704 does not apply to this preparation, as it is a semi-manufactured product, which is not transformed solely into a certain type of sugar confectionery of this heading (HSEN to heading 1704 , first paragraph and CNEN to subheadings 1704 90 51 to 1704 90 99 , 2nd paragraph). This product is covered by Chapter 20 as it is prepared or preserved by a process not specified in Chapter 8 (Note 1(a) to Chapter 20 and CNEN to subheadings 2008 11 10 to 2008 19 99 ). Being nuts mixed with sugar and having undergone a preparation (roasting), this product is classified in subheading 2008 19 19 (CNEN to subheadings 2008 11 10 to 2008 19 99 ). |
