The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the international Harmonised 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 Decision 87/369/EEC (‘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.\nWhere a four digit code is used: unless otherwise specified, all composite products and foodstuffs prefixed with or covered by these four digits are not required to be submitted to veterinary checks at a border inspection post.\nWhere only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code contain animal products and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked ex (for example, ex 2001 90 65: veterinary checks not required for the products outlined in Column (2)).\nColumn (2) — Explanation\nThis column gives details of the composite products and foodstuffs covered by the derogation from veterinary checks at border inspection posts. When necessary, official veterinarians at border inspection posts must assess the ingredients of a composite product and foodstuff and specify, if the animal product contained in the composite product and foodstuffs is sufficiently processed so as to not require the veterinary checks provided for in Union legislation.\nCN Codes\nExplanations\n(1)\n(2)\n1704, 1806 20, 1806 31, 1806 32, 1806 90 11, 1806 90 19, 1806 90 31, 1806 90 39, 1806 90 50\nConfectionery (including sweets) and chocolate, containing less than 50 % of processed dairy and egg products and treated as provided for in Article 6(1)(a) of this Decision.\n1902 19, 1902 30, 1902 40\nPasta and noodles not mixed or filled with processed meat product; containing less than 50 % of processed dairy and egg products and treated as provided for in Article 6(1)(a) of this Decision.\n1905 10, 1905 20, 1905 31, 1905 32, 1905 40, 1905 40 10, 1905 90 10, 1905 90 20, 1905 90 30, 1905 90 45, 1905 90 55, 1905 90 60, ex 1905 90 90;\nBread, cakes, biscuits, waffles and wafers, rusks, toasted bread and similar toasted products; containing less than 20 % of processed dairy and egg products and treated as provided for in Article 6(1)(a) of this Decision.\n1905 90 covers only dry and brittle products.\nex 2001 90 65, ex 2005 70 00\nex 1604\nOlives stuffed with less than 20 % fish\nOlives stuffed with more than 20 % fish\nex 2104 10 and ex 2104 20\nSoup stocks and flavourings packaged for the final consumer, containing less than 50 % of fish oils, fish powders or fish extracts and treated as provided for in Article 6(1)(a) of this Decision.\nex 2106 10, ex 2106 90\nFood supplements packaged for the final consumer, containing small amounts (in total less than 20 %) of processed animal products (including glucosamine, chondroitin and/or chitosan) other than meat products.",
