CUSTOMS DECLARATION
(282)
Statistics of solar panels and their key components are frequently expressed either in number of pieces or Watt. However, there is no such supplementary unit for solar panels and their key components specified in the Combined Nomenclature laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tarifff1. It is therefore necessary to provide that not only the weight in kg or tonnes but also the number of pieces or Watt for the imports of the product concerned must be entered in the declaration for release for free circulation. Pieces should be indicated for TARIC codes 3818 00 10 11 and 3818 00 10 19 and Watt shall be indicated for TARIC codes 8541 40 90 21, 8541 40 90 29, 8541 40 90 31 and 8541 40 90 39.’
