Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 2106 , 2106 90 and 2106 90 98 .

The product does not meet the requirements of Note 2(b)(2) to Chapter 19 because of its composition, presentation and use as a food supplement.

The product does not meet the requirements of Additional Note 1 to Chapter 30 as no statements on the use for specific diseases or the concentration of active substances are given. It should therefore not be considered as herbal medicinal preparation within the meaning of heading 3004 .

The product is therefore considered to be covered by the terms of heading 2106 as a food preparation not elsewhere specified or included and is used as dietary supplement indicated to maintain general health or well-being. (See also HSEN to heading 2106 , second paragraph, number 16).
