law://eu/reg/2015/184@2026-11-12THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariffnote, and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,Whereas:
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification(CN code) | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| Silicon dioxide (also called ‘silica gel’) in the form of small transparent granules of 0,5 to 1,5 mm in diameter and packed in paper sachets or in plastic capsules that are water-vapour-permeable.The silicon dioxide absorbs moisture and is presented to be used, for example, to protect and preserve medicines or to keep goods dry during shipment. | 38249096 | Classification is determined by the General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3824, 382490 and 38249096.Classification under heading 2811 is excluded because the silica gel, packed in paper sachets or in plastic capsules, is intended for a specific use rather than general use and therefore cannot be considered a separate chemically defined compound of Chapter 28.It is therefore to be classified in CN code 38249096 as other chemical products not elsewhere specified or included. |
