# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2007 of 18 November 2019 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the lists of animals, products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and derived products and hay and straw subject to official controls at border control posts and amending Decision 2007/275/EC (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4: Column (1) — CN code

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

This column indicates the CN code. The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the International Convention on Harmonized 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 Council 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.
Where a four digit code is used: Unless otherwise specified, all products prefixed with or covered by these four digits shall be submitted to official controls at border control posts. In most of these cases, the relevant CN codes included in the Traces system set up by Commission Decision 2004/292/EC, are broken down to the six or eight digit code.
Where only certain specified products under any four, six or eight digit code are required to be submitted to official controls and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked ‘Ex’. In that case, the animals and products covered by this Regulation are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of the corresponding description in column (2) and the qualification and explanation in column (3).
