LIST OF COMPOSITE PRODUCTS A ND FOODSTUFFS NOT SUBJECT TO 
VETERINARY CHECKS AS REFERRED TO  IN ARTICLE 6(1)(b) OF THIS 
DECISION 
This list sets out composite products and foodstuffs according to the goods nomenclature in 
use in the Union which do not need to be submitted to veterinary checks at a border inspection post. 
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 internationa l Harmonised Commodity Description and 
Coding System (HS) drawn up by the Cust oms Cooperation Council, now the World 
Customs Organisation (WCO), adopted by th e International Convention, concluded 
in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved on behalf of the European Economic 
Community by Council 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 specific to it. 
Where a four digit code is used: unless otherwise specified, all composite products 
and foodstuffs prefixed with or covered by these four dig its are not required to be 
submitted to veterinary checks at a border inspection post.  
Where only certain specified products under a ny four, six or eight digit code contain 
animal products and no specific subdivision under this code exis ts in the CN, the 
code is marked Ex (for example, Ex 2001 90 65:  veterinary checks not required for 
the products outlined in Column (2)). 
Column (2) – Explanation 
This column gives details of the compos ite products and foodstuffs covered by the 
derogation from veterinary checks at border inspection posts . When necessary, 
official veterinarians at border inspectio n posts must assess the ingredients of a 
composite product and foodstuff and specify, if the animal product contained in the composite product and foodstuffs is sufficien tly processed so as to not require the 
veterinary checks provided for in Union legislation.
