36Furthermore, the Court has held that the decisive criterion for the customs classification of goods under the common customs tariff must be sought in the objective characteristics and properties of the products at the time of their presentation for customs clearance (Case 175/82 Dinter [1983] ECR 969, paragraph 10, and Case C-33/92 Gausepohl-Fleisch [1993] ECR I-3047, paragraph 9). The objective characteristics and properties of products must be capable of being assessed at the time of customs clearance (see, to that effect, Case C-233/88 van de Kolk [1990] ECR I-265, paragraph 12; Case C-38/95 Foods Import [1996] ECR I-6543, paragraph 17; and Case C-14/05 Anagram International [2006] ECR I-6763, paragraph 26).
