Description of goods

Classification (CN Code)

(1)

(2)

(3)

A product of the following composition (% by weight):

—

ethyl alcohol

70

—

gasoline (automotive petrol) conforming to EN 228

30

The product is used as raw material to produce fuels for motor vehicles.

It is transported in bulk.

2207 20 00

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Additional note 12 to Chapter 22 and by the wording of CN codes 2207 and 2207 20 00 .

The product is a mixture of ethyl alcohol and gasoline (automotive petrol). The percentage level of gasoline (automotive petrol) in the product renders it unfit for human consumption but does not prevent the use of the product for industrial purposes (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 2207 , fourth paragraph).

The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 2207 20 00 as a denatured ethyl alcohol.
