Whereas:

that are exem pted from official controls at border control posts.

(2)Commission Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2021/630 of 16 Febr uary 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council as regards certain categ ories of goods exemp ted from official controls at border control posts and 
amending Commission Decision 2007/275/EC (OJ L 132, 19.4.2021, p. 17).EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 1.9.2023 L 216/1  (2) Commission Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/625 (3)laid down certain requirements for consignments of compo site 
products enteri ng the Union from third countr ies or regions thereof. Shelf-stable composit e products exem pted 
from official controls at border control posts had to compl y with those requirements. Commission Delegat ed 
Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 (4)repealed Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/625 from 15 December 2022 . Since 
Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2021/630 refers to Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/625, in order to ensure lega l 
certainty , it is necessar y to replace the reference to the repealed Article 12(2) of Delegat ed Regulation 
(EU) 2019/625 in Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2021/630 with a referen ce to Article 20(2) and (3) of Deleg ated 
Regulation (EU) 2022/2292, laying down requirements for compo site products entering the Union from third 
countr ies or regions thereof.
(3) Since the shelf-stable compo site products under CN codes 1806 90 60, 1806 90 70, 1904 10, 1904 20, 1904 90, 
1905 90, 2005 20 20and 2103 in the form of certain spreads and preparations for making beverages containing 
cocoa, certain prepared foods obtained from cereals, cereal products, certain prepared foods obtained from rice, 
certain chips and crisps, and miso containing fish soup stoc k and soy sauce containing fish soup stoc k pose a low 
risk to human and animal health, these products should also be exem pted from offici al controls at border control 
posts. Crack ers are considered a type of biscuit and, theref ore, they should be also exem pted from official controls 
at border control posts.
(4) Commission Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 (5)lays down rules for the cases where and the conditions under 
which certain categor ies of animals and goods whic h form part of passengers’ personal luggag e are exem pted from 
official controls at border control posts.
(5) Since by virtue of this Regulation certain low-ri sk shelf-stable composit e products not containing meat are exempted 
from official controls at border control posts in accordance with Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2021/630, those 
compo site products should also be referred to in Part 2 of Annex I to Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 as 
exem pted from official controls at border control posts. Given that the latter amendments are a direct consequence 
of the former , it is appropr iate to make these amendments in one sing le act.
(6) The list of exem pted products in Annex III to Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 refers to the same goods as 
those that are contained in the list of compo site products exem pted from official controls at border control posts in 
the Annex to Deleg ated Regulation (EU) 2021/630. Since by virtue of this Regulation certain low-risk shelf-stable 
compo site products not containing meat are added in the Annex to Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2021/630, it is 
necessar y to amend also point 7 of Annex III to Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2019/2122 and align the lists of 
exem pted compo site products in both Delegat ed Regulations. Given that the two lists are substantively linked and 
are intende d to be applied in tandem, it is appropr iate to make the amendments to those lists in one sing le act.
(7) Delegat ed Regulations (EU) 2019/2122 and (EU) 2021/630 should theref ore be amended according ly,

need to be submitted for official controls at border control posts.
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 Harmonized 
Commodity Descr iption and Coding System (“Har monized System (HS)”) drawn up by the Cust oms Cooperation Council, 
now the World Customs Org anisation, and appro ved by Council Decision 87/369/EEC (1). The CN reproduces the 
headings and subheadings of the HS to six digits. The seventh and eighth digits identify further CN subheadings.
Where a four-, six- or eight-digit code not mark ed with “ex” is used, and unless other wise specified, all compo site products 
prefixed with or covered by these four-, six- or eight-digits are not required to be submitted for official controls at border 
control posts.
Where only certain specified composit e products under any four-, six- or eight-digit code contain animal products and no 
specifi c subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked “ex”. For exam ple, with respect to 
“ex 2001 90 65”, checks at border control posts are not required for the products outlined in column (2).
