THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table. |

It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2). |
|
(5) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, |

The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.

Binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States which is not in accordance with this Regulation can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

3824 90 97 |
Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824 , 3824 90 and 3824 90 97 . The product has been obtained by mixing of bentonite clay with an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon. Classification as other clays of heading 2508 is therefore excluded (Note 1 to Chapter 25). The addition of an anti-bacterial agent and activated carbon does not alter the form or the character of the constituent material. Classification of the product under heading 6815 as an article of stone or of mineral substances not elsewhere specified is therefore also excluded (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 68, General, third paragraph). The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included. |

3824 90 97 |
Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3824 , 3824 90 and 3824 90 97 . The blue colour is added solely for commercial or promotional reasons but not for identification of the silicon dioxide. Moreover, silicon dioxide in granular form does not pose a threat to safety. Classification under heading 2811 is therefore excluded (Note 1(e) to Chapter 28). The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 3824 90 97 as chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included. |
