Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 385/2013

European Union (EU)* : Classification of Certain Goods in the Combined Nomenclature (CN)

The European Commission (the Commission) has adopted four Regulations concerning the classification of goods in its commodity classification system, the Combined Nomenclature (CN). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 441/2013 aimed to amend or repeal certain regulations on CN that were no longer relevant or valid. Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) Nos 442/2013, 443/2013 and 444/2013 stipulated the CN classifications of mixed condiments and mixed seasonings used as ingredients in traditional Japanese dishes; products presented as small bites in the form of arch, flavoured with cheese and composed of maize meal, vegetable oil, cheese powder (yeast extract, colorants), milk powder, salt, starch and dextrose; as well as the preparations used in animal feeding to ensure uniform application of the CN by Member States' customs authorities. Details of the regulations can be accessed through the following links:
