The tariff classification of those products as set out in the BTI is not in accordance with TARIC codes 2202 90 10 19, 2202 90 10 99, 2202 90 91 90, 2202 90 95 90 and 2202 90 99 90, respectively.\n(3)\nTo ensure equality between operators and the uniform application of the TARIC, the BTI referred to in the Annex should cease to be valid. The customs authorities which issued the information should therefore revoke it as soon as possible following the notification of the present Decision and notify the Commission to that effect.\n(4)\nIn accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, the holder of BTI is given, for a certain period of time, the possibility of invoking BTI which has ceased to be valid subject to the conditions laid down in that provision and in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
