ANNEX I

LIST OF ANIMALS, PRODUCTS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN, GERMINAL PRODUCTS, ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS AND DERIVED PRODUCTS AND HAY AND STRAW SUBJECT TO OFFICIAL CONTROLS AT BORDER CONTROL POSTS AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 3

Notes:

1. General remarks

General remarks are added to certain Chapters to clarify, which animals or goods are covered in the relevant chapter. In addition, where necessary, reference is made to specific requirements laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (1).

2. Note to Chapter

The lists in this Annex are structured in Chapters which correspond to the relevant Chapters in the Combined Nomenclature (CN) as laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2).

The Chapter notes are explanations, where necessary extracted, from the Notes to the individual Chapters of the CN.

3. Extract from the Explanatory Notes and the Classification Opinions of the Harmonized System

Additional information on the different Chapters has been extracted, where necessary, from the Explanatory Notes and the Classification Opinions of the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organisation.

Tables:

4. Column (1) — CN code

This column indicates the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the International Convention on Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) drawn up by the Customs Cooperation Council, now the World Customs Organisation (WCO), adopted by the International Convention, concluded in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved on behalf of the European Economic Community by Council Decision 87/369/EEC (3) (‘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 products prefixed with or covered by these four digits shall be submitted to official controls at border control posts. In most of these cases, the relevant CN codes included in the Traces system set up by Commission Decision 2004/292/EC (4), are broken down to the six or eight digit code.

Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code are required to be submitted to official controls and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked ‘Ex’. In that case, the animals and products covered by this Regulation are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of the corresponding description in column (2) and the qualification and explanation in column (3).

5. Column (2) — Description

The description of the goods is as laid down in the description column of the CN.

Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the CN, the wording for the description of animals and products in column (2) is considered to be of indicative value only, since the goods covered by this Regulation are determined by CN codes.

6. Column (3) — Qualification and explanation

This column gives details of the animals or goods covered. Further information on the animals or goods covered in the different Chapters of the CN can be found in the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (5).

Products derived from animal by-products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 (6) of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 are not specifically identified in Union law. Official controls shall be carried out on products that are partly processed but remain raw products to be further processed in an approved or registered establishment at destination. Official inspectors at border control posts shall assess and specify, when necessary, if a derived product is sufficiently processed to not require further official controls provided for in Union law.

Extract from the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes

‘Heading 1516 covers animal and vegetable fats and oils, which have undergone a specific chemical transformation of a kind mentioned below, but have not been further prepared. The heading also covers similarly treated fractions of animal or vegetable fats and oils. Hydrogenation, which is effected by bringing the products into contact with pure hydrogen at a suitable temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst (usually finely divided nickel), raises the melting points of fats and increases the consistency of oils by transforming unsaturated glycerides (e.g. of oleic, linoleic, etc. acids) into saturated glycerides of higher melting points (e.g. of palmitic, stearic, etc. acids). Heading 1518 covers inedible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of the Chapter, not elsewhere specified or included. This part covers, inter alia, used deep-frying oil containing, for example, rape oil, soya-bean oil and a small quantity of animal fat, for use in the preparation of animal feeds.
