2.For the purposes of subheadings 1514 11 and 1514 19 , the expression ‘low-erucic-acid rape or colza oil’ means the fixed oil which has an erucic acid content of less than 2 % by weight.

1.

For the purposes of subheadings 1507 10 , 1508 10 , 1510 10 00 , 1511 10 , 1512 11 , 1512 21 , 1513 11 , 1513 21 , 1514 11 , 1514 91 , 1515 11 , 1515 21 , 1515 50 11 , 1515 50 19 , 1515 90 21 , 1515 90 29 , 1515 90 40 to 1515 90 59 and 1518 00 31 :

(a) fixed vegetable oils, fluid or solid, obtained by pressure, are to be considered as ‘crude’ if they have undergone no other processing than: decantation within the normal time limits, — *centrifugation or filtration, provided that, in order to separate the oils from their solid constituents, only mechanical force, such as gravity, pressure or centrifugal force, has been employed (excluding any absorption filtering process or any other physical or chemical process); (b) fixed vegetable oils, fluid or solid, obtained by extraction are to continue to be considered as ‘crude’ when they cannot be distinguished, by their colour, odour or taste, nor by recognised special analytical properties, from vegetable oils and fats obtained by pressure; (c) the expression ‘crude oils’ is to be taken to extend to degummed soya-bean oil and to cotton-seed oil from which the gossypol has been removed.*

2.

A. Headings 1509 and 1510 cover only oils derived solely from the treatment of olives and having the characteristics, with regard to the content of fatty acids and sterols, which are referred to in Annex I to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104 (15). Their presence can be determined using methods no. 6 (COI/T.20/Doc. No 33 (Determination of fatty acid methyl esters by gas chromatography)) and no. 8 (COI/T.20/Doc. No 26 (Determination of the composition and content of sterols, triterpenic dialcohols and aliphatic alcohols by capillary gas chromatography)) set out in Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105 (16) *. Headings 1509 and 1510 do not cover chemically altered olive oil (in particular re-esterified olive oil) and mixtures of olive oil with other oils. The presence of re-esterified olive oil is ascertained using the method no. 3 (COI/T.20/Doc. No 23 (Determination of the percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate)) set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105. B. Subheadings 1509 20 00 , 1509 30 00 and 1509 40 00 cover only the olive oils defined in points 1, 2 and 3 below, obtained solely by mechanical or other physical means under conditions which do not lead to the modification of the oil, and which have not undergone any treatment other than washing, decantation, centrifugation or filtration. Olive oils obtained using solvents, chemical or biochemical reagents, or re-esterification processes, as well as any mixtures with oils of other kinds, are excluded from these subheadings. 1. For the purposes of subheading 1509 20 00 , ‘extra virgin olive oil’ means olive oil having the characteristics of olive oils of category 1 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. 2. Subheading 1509 30 00 covers virgin olive oils which have the characteristics of olive oils of category 2 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. 3. For the purposes of subheading 1509 40 00 , covers virgin olive oils which have the characteristics of olive oils of category 3 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. C. Subheading 1509 90 00 covers olive oil obtained by the treatment of olive oils of subheadings 1509 20 00 , 1509 30 00 and 1509 40 00 , whether or not blended with extra virgin olive oil or virgin olive oil, and having the characteristics of olive oils of categories 4 and 5 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. D. For the purposes of subheading 1510 10 00 , ‘crude olive pomace oil’ means oils with the characteristics of olive oils of category 6 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104. E. Subheading 1510 90 00 covers oils obtained by the treatment of oils of subheading 1510 10 00 , whether or not blended with extra virgin olive oil or virgin olive oil, and oils not having the characteristics of the oils referred to in points B, C and D of this additional note. Oils of this subheading must have the characteristics of the olive oils of categories 7 and 8 as set out in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104.*

3.

Subheadings 1522 00 31 and 1522 00 39 do not cover:

(a) residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances containing oil having an iodine index, determined in accordance with the ISO 3961 method, lower than 70 or higher than 100; (b) residues resulting from the treatment of fatty substances containing oil having an iodine index higher than 70 or lower than 100, of which the peak area representing the retention volume of apparent betasitosterol (17), determined in accordance with method no. 8 (COI/T.20/Doc. No 26 (Determination of the composition and content of sterols, triterpenic dialcohols and aliphatic alcohols by capillary gas chromatography)) set out in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105, is less than 93,0 % of the total sterol peak areas.

4.

The analytical methods for the determination of the characteristics of the products referred to above are those laid down in the Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105.

5.

Food preparations made from products of Chapter 15 presented in measured doses, such as capsules, tablets, pastilles and pills, intended for use as food supplements, are excluded from this Chapter. The essential character of a food supplement is not only given by its ingredients, but also by its specific form of presentation revealing its function as a food supplement, since it determines the dosage, the way in which it is absorbed and the place where it is supposed to become active. Such food preparations are to be classified under heading 2106 insofar as they are not specified or included elsewhere.

PREPARED FOODSTUFFS; BEVERAGES, SPIRITS AND VINEGAR; TOBACCO AND MANUFACTURED TOBACCO SUBSTITUTES; PRODUCTS, WHETHER OR NOT CONTAINING NICOTINE, INTENDED FOR INHALATION WITHOUT COMBUSTION; OTHER NICOTINE CONTAINING PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR THE INTAKE OF NICOTINE INTO THE HUMAN BODY
Note

1.In this section, the term ‘pellets’ means products which have been agglomerated either directly by compression or by the addition of a binder in a proportion not exceeding 3 % by weight.

1.This chapter does not cover meat, meat offal, fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, as well as insects, prepared or preserved by the processes specified in Chapter 2 or 3, Note 6 to Chapter 4 or in heading 0504 .

2.Food preparations fall in this chapter provided that they contain more than 20 % by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof. In cases where the preparation contains two or more of the products mentioned above, it is classified in the heading of Chapter 16 corresponding to the component or components which predominate by weight. These provisions do not apply to the stuffed products of heading 1902 or to the preparations of heading 2103 or 2104 .

For preparations containing liver, the provisions of the second sentence shall not apply in determining the subheadings within heading 1601  or 1602 .

1.For the purposes of subheading 1602 10 , the expression ‘homogenised preparations’ means preparations of meat, meat offal, blood or insects, finely homogenised, put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes, in containers of a net weight content not exceeding 250 g. For the application of this definition, no account is to be taken of small quantities of any ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or other purposes. These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of meat, meat offal or insects. This subheading takes precedence over all other subheadings of heading 1602 .

2.The fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates specified in the subheadings of heading 1604 or 1605 under their common names only, are of the same species as those mentioned in Chapter 3 under the same name.

1.

For the purposes of subheadings 1602 31 11 , 1602 32 11 , 1602 39 21 , 1602 50 10 and 1602 90 61 , the term ‘uncooked’ is to apply to products which have not been subjected to any heat treatment or which have been subjected to a heat treatment insufficient to ensure the coagulation of meat proteins in the whole of the product and which, therefore, in the case of subheadings 1602 50 10 and 1602 90 61 , show traces of a pinkish liquid on the cut surface when the product is cut along a line passing through its thickest part.

2.

For the purposes of subheadings 1602 41 10 , 1602 42 10 and 1602 49 11 to 1602 49 15 , the expression ‘cuts thereof’ applies only to prepared or preserved meat which, due to the size and the characteristics of the coherent muscle tissue, is identifiable as having been obtained from hams, shoulders, loins, or collars of domestic swine, as the case may be.

(1) The duty applicable to sausages imported in containers which also contain preservative liquid is collected on the net weight, after deduction of the weight of the liquid. (2) WTO tariff quota. (3) For the purposes of determining the percentage weight of poultry meat, the weight of any bones is to be disregarded. (4) Entry under this subheading is subject to the conditions laid down in the relevant provisions of the European Union (see Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 269, 10.10.2013, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2013/952/oj)).

1.This chapter does not cover:

(a) sugar confectionery containing cocoa (heading 1806 );

(b) chemically pure sugars (other than sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose) or other products of heading 2940 ; or

(c) medicaments or other products of Chapter 30.

1.For the purposes of subheadings 1701 12 , 1701 13 and 1701 14 , ‘raw sugar’ means sugar whose content of sucrose by weight, in the dry state, corresponds to a polarimeter reading of less than 99,5°.

2.Subheading 1701 13 covers only cane sugar obtained without centrifugation, whose content of sucrose by weight, in the dry state, corresponds to a polarimeter reading of 69° or more but less than 93°. The product contains only natural anhedral microcrystals, of irregular shape, not visible to the naked eye, which are surrounded by residues of molasses and other constituents of sugar cane.

1.

For the purposes of subheadings 1701 12 10 , 1701 12 90 , 1701 13 10 , 1701 13 90 , 1701 14 10 and 1701 14 90 , ‘raw sugar’ means sugar, not flavoured or coloured or containing any other added substances, containing, in the dry state, less than 99,5 % by weight of sucrose determined by the polarimetric method.

2.

The duty applicable to raw sugar of subheadings 1701 12 10 , 1701 13 10 and 1701 14 10 whose yield established according to part B(III) of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 671) differs from 92 % is fixed in the following manner:

the relevant rate is multiplied by a correcting coefficient obtained by dividing the percentage yield established according to the above provisions by 92.

3.

For the purposes of subheading 1701 99 10 , ‘white sugar’ means sugar, not flavoured or coloured or containing any other added substances, containing, in the dry state, 99,5 % or more by weight of sucrose, determined by the polarimetric method.

4.

For products of subheadings 1702 20 10 , 1702 60 95 and 1702 90 71 , the sugar content (sucrose, fructose, glucose and maltose, where the fructose and glucose are expressed in sucrose equivalent) is to be determined by applying the high performance liquid chromatography method (the “HPLC method” ), using the following formula:

S + 0,95 x (F + G) + M

where:

“S” is the sucrose content determined by the HPLC method;

“F” is the fructose content determined by the HPLC method;

“G” is the glucose content determined by the HPLC method;

“M” is the maltose content determined by the HPLC method.

For products of subheadings 1702 60 80 , 1702 90 80 and 1702 90 95 , the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, is to be determined by the refractometry method (expressed in degrees Brix in accordance with the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014 (18)). For products of subheadings 1702 60 80 and 1702 90 80 , the conversion of the results into sucrose equivalent is to be obtained by multiplying the degrees Brix by the coefficient 0,95.

5.

For the purposes of subheadings 1702 30 10 , 1702 40 10 , 1702 60 10 and 1702 90 30 , the term ‘isoglucose’ means the product obtained from glucose or its polymers with a content by weight in the dry state of at least 10 % fructose.

For products of those subheadings, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, is to be determined by the refractometry method (expressed in degrees Brix in accordance with the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014).

6.

‘Inulin syrup’ means:

(a) for the purposes of subheading 1702 60 80 , the immediate product obtained by hydrolysis of inulin or oligofructoses, containing in the dry state more than 50 % fructose in free form or as sucrose; (b) for the purposes of subheading 1702 90 80 , the immediate product obtained by hydrolysis of inulin or oligofructoses, containing in the dry state at least 10 % but not more than 50 % of fructose in free form or as sucrose.

The quantity of ‘fructose in free form or as sucrose’ shall be determined using the formula F + 0,5 S/0,95 calculated on the dry matter, where “F” is the fructose content and “S” is the sucrose content, as determined by the High Performance Liquid Chromatography method.

7.

When imported in the form of an assortment, goods of subheading 1704 90 are subject to an agricultural component (EA) fixed according to the average content in milkfats, milk proteins, sucrose, isoglucose, glucose and starch of the assortment as a whole.

8.

Throughout the nomenclature, mixtures of sugar with small amounts of other substances are classified in Chapter 17, unless they have the character of a preparation classified elsewhere.

Such food preparations are to be classified under heading 2106 insofar as they are not specified or included elsewhere.
