(3)Article 6(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote requires food business operators importing products of animal origin from third countries to ensure that importation takes place only if the third country appears on a list of third countries from which imports of those products are permitted, drawn up in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, which has been replaced by Articles 126 and 127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. It follows from that provision of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 that imports of products of animal origin from third countries not appearing on those lists are not permitted. Article 3, point (b), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292 specifies the Combined Nomenclature codes or Harmonised System headings (CN/HS codes) of products of animal origin which may enter into the Union only from a third country or region thereof included in a list for those products of animal origin. In order to ensure consistency between Article 6(1), point (a), of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and Article 3, point (b), of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2292, the CN/HS codes of some products of animal origin, which were not yet included in Article 3, namely certain dairy products, certain food additives derived from animals and collagen casings, should be included in that Article.
