After carefully analysing these comments, it was concluded that certain amendments to the Annexes of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/670 are appropriate.\n(2)\nThe procedure for issuing the surveillance document should be clarified.\n(3)\nThe products subject to prior surveillance and falling under Harmonized System (‘HS’) heading 7318 are typically traded in numerous but relatively small sized transactions, which are often operated based on a just-in-time system. Given the specificities of this business model, in order to minimise any unnecessary constraints and not to disturb the activities of the companies active in this sector, in particular those close to the borders, imports of these products whose net weight does not exceed 5 000 kg should be excluded from the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/670.\n(4)\nIt became apparent that there are clerical errors in Annex I. Therefore, it is necessary to delete HS heading 7303 from Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/670 while HS heading 7229 should be added.\n(5)\nFollowing comments received from the competent national authorities, it is also necessary to update the contact details in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/670.\n(6)\nNational authorities should be encouraged to accept electronic versions of the surveillance document,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
