THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation 
of veter inar y checks on animals entering the Community from third countr ies and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 
90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof, 
Having rega rd to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the 
organisation of veteri nary checks on products entering the Community from third countr ies (2), and in particular 
Article 3(5) thereof, 
Whereas:

subjecte d to veter inar y checks at border inspection posts in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 
97/78/EC (‘the veterinar y checks’ ). Decision 2007/275/EC also provides for a derogation from such veterinar y 
checks for certain composit e products and for the foodstuffs listed in Annex II thereto. 
(2)  The list set out in Annex I to Decision 2007/275/EC lists the animals and products in accordance with the 
Combined Nomenclature (‘CN’), as provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (4). This list is used by 
the compet ent author ities of the Member State s as a first step in the selection of consignments that are to be 
submitte d to the veterinar y checks. 
(3)  Since the date of adoptio n of Decision 2007/275/EC, the CN codes laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 
have been updat ed several times, with the most recent amendments laid down in Commission Implementing 
Regulation (EU) 2015/1754 (5). As several amendments have been made to the CN codes for products of animal 
origin, the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2007/275/EC should be updated to take account of those 
amendments. 
(4)  In several CN headings and CN codes listed in Annex I to Decision 2007/275/EC products of animal origin 
represent only a small part of the goods included in the relevant CN heading or CN code. In such cases, 
column 3 of the above list refers to the applicable Union vete rinar y legislation and provides details of the animals 
and products which are to be subjected to veteri nary checks. Taking into account the terminology and references 
in other Union veterinar y legislation, those references in Decision 2007/275/EC should be update d in order to be 
aligned with current Union veterinar y legislation. 
(5)  In the interest of consiste ncy of Union legislation, the list set out in Annex I to Decision 2007/275/EC should be 
updat ed to take account of amendments made to the CN codes and to Union veterinar y legislation. Annex I to 
Decision 2007/275/EC should theref ore be amended according ly. 22.7.2016 L 197/10 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN

veterinar y checks. Theref ore, they should be clearly identif iable and need to be linked to their CN codes. In 
addition, certain compo site products and foodstuffs should be delet ed from the list set out in Annex II to 
Decision 2007/275/EC. That list should theref ore be amended according ly.

Column (1) — CN code 
This column indicate s the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the internat­
ional Harmonised Commodity Descr iption and Coding System (HS) drawn up by the Cust oms Cooperation Council, 
now the World Cust oms Org anisation (WCO), adopt ed by the International Convention, concluded in Brussels on 
14 June 1983 and appro ved on behalf of the European Economic Community by Decision 87/369/EEC (‘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 specifi c to it. 
Where a four digit code is used: unless other wise specifi ed, all composit e products and foodstuffs prefixed with or 
covered by these four digits are not required to be submitted to veterinar y chec ks at a border inspection post. 
Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code contain animal products and no 
specif ic subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is mark ed ex (for exam ple, ex 2001 90 65: 
veteri nary checks not required for the products outlined in Column (2)). 
Column (2) — Explanation 
This column gives details of the compo site products and foodstuffs covered by the derogat ion from veteri nary 
chec ks at border inspection posts. When necessar y, official veteri narians at border inspection posts must assess the 
ingredients of a composit e product and foodstuff and specify , if the animal product contained in the composit e 
product and foodstuffs is sufficiently processed so as to not require the veterinar y checks provided for in Union 
legislation.
