(2001/C 371/08)

Economic operators are hereby informed that, by its Recommendation of 25 June 1999, the Customs Cooperation Council has approved the amendment to the Nomenclature appended to the International Convention on the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS Convention). In accordance with Article 16(4) and 16(5) of the HS Convention, this amendment will enter into force on 1 January 2002, and the tariff and statistical nomenclatures of all of the Contracting Parties need to conform to the amended version of the HS Nomenclature at that date.

In Commission Regulation (EC) No 2031/2001(1) of 6 August 2001, the European Community has incorporated this amendment into the Combined Nomenclature applicable from 1 January 2002.

However, it may be that certain Contracting Parties to the HS Convention - for example as is the case for Mexico or Cuba - are not in a position to implement the latest version of the HS Nomenclature from 1 January 2002.

Therefore, economic operators are invited to contact the customs administrations of each of those countries to which they intend to export their goods, in order to ascertain at which date the latest version of the HS Nomenclature will enter into force.
