Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union
(C/2025/6096)

Pursuant to Article 9(1), point (a), of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are amended as follows:

On page 202, the following explanatory note is inserted after the last phrase:








“3921




Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics

See the explanatory note to subheading 8507 90 31 .”
            






On page 348, the following explanatory note is inserted:








“8507 90 31




Separators of plastic film of a thickness not exceeding 40 micrometres

This subheading includes separator films of a thickness not exceeding 40 micrometres, which are presented in rolls. These films are specifically designed for use in lithium-ion accumulators to separate the anode and cathode, allowing for the safe flow of ions during charging and discharging processes. Additionally, the separator films have a crucial role in preventing short circuits within the accumulator.
These separators are flexible and are typically white or translucent in appearance, with a width precisely tailored to the respective accumulators. The thickness of these films generally ranges from 5 to 25 micrometres, but not exceeding 40 micrometres.
They are usually made of polyolefin-based semi-crystalline polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polyamides (e.g., nylon). The separator films may be either monolayer or multilayer, with the latter often featuring a PP/PE/PP tri-layer structure. Some films are optionally coated with ceramic particles (e.g., high-purity aluminium oxide or titanium oxide) or polymers like PVDF, or non-woven fabrics.
After cutting to the final length (which is determined during the manufacturing process), the articles are ready for use as separator films in lithium-ion accumulators. The films are cut to the appropriate length on-site in the same production line where the accumulators are produced, using specialized machinery that feed in the rolls and cut them according to precise specifications.”

must be interpreted as, first, precluding an exemption from value added tax under Article 138(1) of Directive 2006/112, as amended by Directive 2018/1910, being refused on the sole ground that evidence of the existence of an intra-Community supply as provided for in Article 45a of Implementing Regulation No 282/2011, as amended by Implementing Regulation 2018/1912, has not been provided, and, secondly, requiring the national tax authorities to assess any evidence produced for the purpose of determining that the goods were dispatched or transported from a Member State to a destination outside its territory but within the European Union, other than in the cases of presumption provided for in Article 45a(1) of Implementing Regulation No 282/2011, as amended by Implementing Regulation 2018/1912.
