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
ANIMAL OR VEGETABLE FATS AND OILS AND THEIR CLEAVAGE PRODUCTS; PREPARED EDIBLE FATS; ANIMAL OR VEGETABLE WAXES
General
For the purposes of the subheadings of this chapter which include the term, ‘industrial uses’ is to be taken to apply only to those uses which involve transformation of the basic product.
On the other hand, ‘technical uses’, a term also found in some subheadings, implies no such transformation.
Treatments such as purification, refining or hydrogenation are not regarded as ‘industrial uses’ or ‘technical uses’.
It is stressed that even products suitable for human consumption may be intended for technical or industrial uses.
The subheadings of this chapter which are devoted to products for technical or industrial uses other than the manufacture of foodstuffs for human consumption include oils and fats for the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs.
Additional note 1(a)
The fluid fraction of vegetable oils obtained by separating off the solid phase, for example, by cooling, use of organic solvents, surfactants, etc., cannot be considered as crude oils.
