Notes to the table:  
Column ( i): Species  
 
This column indicates the s cientific name  of the species . Synonyms are included in 
parenthesis.  
 
Column ( ii): CN code s for live specimens .  
 
This column indicates the Combined Nomenclature (CN) code s for the live specimens. 
The goods classified under the CN codes in this column shall be subject to official 
controls under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014.   
 
The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the international 
Harmoni zed Commodity Description and Co ding System (HS) drawn up by the 
Customs Cooperation Council, now the World Customs Organi zation (WCO), adopted 
by the International Convention, concluded in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved 
on behalf of the European Economic Community by Council Deci sion 87/369/EEC1 
(“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.   
 
Where only certain specified products under an y four, six or eight digit code are 
                                                 
1 OJ L 198, 20.7.1987, p. 1.   
EN 4   EN required to be submitted to checks and no specific subdivision under this code exists in 
the CN, the code is marked ex (for example, ex 0106 49 00 , as CN code 0106 49 00 
comprises all other insects and not only th e insect  species  that figure in the table ).  
 
Column ( iii): CN code for parts that can reproduce  
 
This column indicates, where relevant,  the Combined Nomenclature (CN) code s for 
the parts of the species that can reproduce.  See also the note for column ( ii). The 
goods classified under the CN codes in this column shall be subject to official controls 
under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014.   
 
Column ( iv): Categories of associated goods   
 
This column indicates, where relevant, the CN codes of goods with  which the invasive 
alien spec ies are generally associated. The goods classified under the CN codes in this 
column  are not subject to official controls under  Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 
1143/2014 . See also the note for column ( ii). In particular , the numbers mentioned in
