CN Explanatory Notes
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
General notes to the chapter
CEREALS
General
Dried ears of cereal (for example, maize) which have been bleached, dyed, impregnated or otherwise treated for ornamental purposes are classified in subheading 0604 90 99.
Cereals remain classified in this chapter although they have undergone heat treatment for preservation purposes which may cause the grains to partially gelatinise and sometimes burst. The partial gelatinisation (pregelatinisation) occurs in the drying process and concerns only a small quantity of the grains. This transformation of the starch is not the aim of the heat treatment, but only a side effect. That treatment is not to be considered as ‘otherwise worked’ within the meaning of note 1(B) to Chapter 10.
