In Chapter 20 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, point (a) of Additional note 2 is replaced by the following:
‘(a)
The content of various sugars expressed as sucrose (sugar content) of products classified in this Chapter corresponds to the figure indicated by a refractometer (used in accordance with the method prescribed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014) at a temperature of 20 °C and multiplied by one of the following factors:
—
0,93 in respect of products of subheadings 2008 20 to 2008 80 , 2008 93 , 2008 97 and 2008 99 ;
—
0,95 in respect of products of the other headings.
However, the content of various sugars expressed as sucrose (sugar content) of the following products classified in this Chapter:
—
products manufactured on the basis of seaweed and other algae prepared or preserved by processes not provided for in Chapter 12;
—
products manufactured on the basis of manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content of heading 0714 ;
—
products manufactured on the basis of vine leaves;
corresponds to the figure resulting from a calculation carried out on the basis of measurements which have been obtained applying the high performance liquid chromatography method (the “HPLC method”), using the following formula:
S + (G + F) × 0,95;
where:
“S” is the sucrose content determined by the HPLC method;
“F” is the fructose content determined by the HPLC method;
“G” is the glucose content determined by the HPLC method.’
