Open ↗ANNEX Description of goods Classification (CN Code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A product in powder form consisting of the dried leaves of the moringa tree ( Moringa oleifera ). The product is used as an ingredient in foods (such as creams, sauces, salads, pizzas, meats, soups or spices) or separately to prepare teas or as a food supplement. 1212 99 95 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 1212 , 1212 99 and 1212 99 95 . Due to the nature of the plant, this product is not intended exclusively for direct consumption as a vegetable, but its use is more diversified and complex: it is used as an ingredient in different foods or separately to prepare teas or as a food supplement. Consequently, Moringa oleifera cannot be classified as a vegetable of heading 0712 . Classification under heading 1211 is excluded because, although this is a product with positive effects on human health, the main purpose of usage of this product is not ‘primarily in perfumery, in pharmacy or for insecticidal, fungicidal or similar purposes’ as stated in the heading text. Given its characteristics and properties, the product should be classified in CN code 1212 99 95 .
