4. Column (1) — CN code
This column indicate s the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the 
Internatio nal Convention on Harmonized Commodity Descr iption and Coding System (HS) concluded in 
Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved by Council Decision 87/369/EEC (4). 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.
(1)Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 of 25 Febr uary 2011 impl ementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regar ds animal by-products and derived products not intended for human

these four digits shall be submitte d to official controls at border control posts. In most of these cases, the 
relevant CN codes included in the Traces syste m refer red to in Article 133(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of 
the European Parliament and of the Council (5), are brok en down to six- or eight-digit codes.
Where only certain specified animals and goods under any four-, six- or eight-digit code are required to be 
submitted to official controls and no specifi c subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is mark ed 
“Ex”. In that case, the animals and goods covered by this Regulation are deter mined by the scope of the CN code 
and by that of the corresponding descr iption in column (2) and the qualifi cation and explanation in column (3).
5. Column (2) — Descr iption
The descr iption of the animals and goods is as laid down in the descr iption column of the CN.
Without prejudice to the rules for the interpr etation of the CN, the wording for the descr iption of the animals 
and goods in column (2) is considered to be of indicative value only , since the animals and goods covered by this 
Regulation are determined by CN codes.
6. Column (3) — Qualif ication and explanation
This column gives details of the animals or goods covered. Further information on the animals or goods covered 
in the differ ent Chapt ers of the CN can be found in the Explanat ory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the 
European Union (6).
Products derived from animal by-products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council (7)and Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 are not specifi cally identif ied in Union law. 
Offi cial controls shall be carried out on products that are partly processed but remain raw products to be further 
processed in an approved or register ed establishment at destination. Official inspect ors at border control posts 
shall assess and specify , when necessar y, if a derived product is sufficiently processed to not require further 
official controls provid ed for in Union law.
