Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

Amendments to CN Explanatory Notes to CN subheadings covering: Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof (C/2025/330)

The Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union are amended as follows: 

on page 405, in the explanatory note to CN code 9405 50 00 ‘Non-electrical lamps and lighting fittings’ the existing text is replaced by the following text:

‘See also the HS Explanatory Note to heading 9405, parts (I)(5) and (I)(6).

This subheading includes lanterns of any material (excluding those materials referred to in Note 1 to Chapter 71) whether or not they have a fixture or specific fitting for holding a candle or a tea light. They usually have holes for ventilation at the top and an “opening” through which a candle can be placed.

This subheading also includes candelabra (see figure 1 and 2), candlesticks (see figure 3 and 4) and candle brackets (see figure 5), including candelabra, candlesticks and candle brackets for tea lights or for both (candles and tea lights).

Other receptacles of various shapes, made of various materials (glass, ceramics, wood, plastic etc.), such as so-called “tea light holders” or other receptacles for holding candles of all kinds (dinner candles/stick candles, pillar candles, etc.), or for holding both (a candle or a tea light) are covered by this subheading only if they include a fixture or specific fitting to hold a candle and/or tea light in a fixed position (for example, a spike on which the candle is to be placed, or a special clamp to prevent the candle from shifting or falling).

However, similar receptacles without any such a fixture or specific fitting to hold a candle, a tea light or both in a fixed position, are excluded from this subheading and are to be classified according to their constituent material (see figures 6 to 16). The fact that a candle or a tea light may be placed tightly in a recess of the receptacle is not sufficient for classification in this subheading (see also Commission Regulation (EC) No 141/2002 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 774/2011 

The Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union are amended as follows: 

On page 88, after the title ‘1902 Pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed (with meat or other substances) or otherwise prepared, such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagne, gnocchi, ravioli, cannelloni; couscous, whether or not prepared’, the following text is inserted: 

‘1902 20 10 to 1902 20 99 

Stuffed pasta, whether or not cooked or otherwise prepared: 

These subheadings do not cover pre-baked or pre-fried stuffed pastry products, such as “Samosa” or “Briwat” (generally, heading 1905, or Chapter 16 if containing more than 20 % by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof).’

The Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union are amended as follows: 

On page 198, the first paragraph in the Explanatory note to CN subheadings ‘3907 61 00 and 3907 69 00 Poly(ethylene terephthalate)’ is deleted.
