ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A product in the form of fine white-yellowish powder packed in 25 kg bags, made from hydrogenated vegetable oil with added mono- and diglycerides from a different vegetable oil. The added mono- and diglycerides from a different vegetable oil constitute 10 % by weight. The product is presented to be used as an emulsifier in the food industry. The dropping point is 58 °C and viscosity at 68 °C is less than 1 Pa.s. 3404 90 00 Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 5 to Chapter 34 and the wording of CN codes 3404 and 3404 90 00 . Classification under heading 1516 is excluded as other ingredients are added (10 % mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids). Classification under heading 1517 is also excluded as the product has a waxy character which is not covered by the scope of heading 1517 . The product is a chemically produced organic product of waxy character that is not water-soluble (see note 5 to Chapter 34) and which also fulfils the criteria of an artificial wax (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 3404 , in particular letter A). The product is therefore to be classified in CN code 3404 90 00 as other artificial waxes and prepared waxes.
