Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 729/2013
Of 25 July 2013 — CELEX 32013R0729
Description of the goods
Product consisting of green-lipped mussel powder (species Perna canalicula), fit for human consumption. It is presented in bags of 10 kg to 20 kg.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 to Chapter 23 and the wording of CN codes 0307, 0307 99 and 0307 99 80. The product is fit for human consumption. Therefore, classification under heading 2301 is excluded (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 2301, point (1)). The product has retained the essential characteristics of the original material (mussel powder). Classification under heading 2309 as a preparation used in animal feeding is therefore excluded in accordance with Note 1 to Chapter 23. Given the characteristics of the product it is to be classified under heading 0307 as ‘other flour or meal of molluscs, fit for human consumption’.
