1212 99 70
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 1212, 1212 99 and 1212 99 70.
Classification in heading 1211 is excluded as the product is not used primarily for the purposes mentioned in the wording of this heading (‘… of a kind used primarily in perfumery, in pharmacy or for insecticidal, fungicidal or similar purposes’).
Consequently, the product has to be classified as another vegetable product of a kind used primarily for human consumption, not elsewhere specified or included, of heading 1212.
