Whereas heading No 30.03 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3400/84 (4), relates in particular to medicaments;
Whereas heading No 21.07 relates to food preparations not elsewhere specified or included;
Whereas the products in question do not comply with the provisions of note 1 to Chapter 30 and therefore cannot be regarded as medicaments of heading No 30.03;
Whereas they have the characteristics of food supplement containing vitamins and mineral salts and intended to keep the body in good health and should be regarded as food preparations; whereas in absence of a more specific heading, they should be classified in heading No 21.07; whereas, within that heading, subheading 21.07 G I d) 1 is the most appropriate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
