The CN, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, is based on the International Convention on Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) concluded in Brussels on 14 June 1983 and approved by Council Decision 87/369/EECCouncil Decision 87/369/EEC of 7 April 1987 concerning the conclusion of the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and of the Protocol of Amendment thereto (OJ L 198, 20.7.1987, p. 1).. The CN reproduces the headings and subheadings of the HS to six digits, with only the seventh and eighth figures creating further subheadings which are specific to it.Where a four-digit code is used: Unless otherwise specified, all animals and goods prefixed with or covered by these four digits shall be submitted to official controls at border control posts. In most of these cases, the relevant CN codes included in the Traces system referred to in Article 133(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation) (OJ L 95, 7.4.2017, p. 1)., are broken down to six- or eight-digit codes.Where only certain specified animals and goods under any four-, six- or eight-digit code are required to be submitted to official controls and no specific subdivision under this code exists in the CN, the code is marked "Ex". In that case, the animals and goods covered by this Regulation are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that of the corresponding description in column (2) and the qualification and explanation in column (3).5.Column (2) — DescriptionThe description of the animals and goods is as laid down in the description column of the CN.Without prejudice to the rules for the interpretation of the CN, the wording for the description of the animals and goods in column (2) is considered to be of indicative value only, since the animals and goods covered by this Regulation are determined by CN codes.6.Column (3) — Qualification and explanationThis column gives details of the animals or goods covered.
