Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1344 of 18 July 2017 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff

Part Two of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is amended as follows: (a) in Chapter 17, Additional notes 4 and 5 are replaced by the following: ‘4. For products of subheadings 17022010, 17026095 and 17029071, the sugar content (sucrose, fructose, glucose and maltose, where the fructose and glucose are expressed in sucrose equivalent) is to be determined by applying the high performance liquid chromatography method (the ‘HPLC method’), using the following formula: S + 0,95 × (F + G) + M where: ‘S’ is the sucrose content determined by the HPLC method; ‘F’ is the fructose content determined by the HPLC method; ‘G’ is the glucose content determined by the HPLC method; ‘M’ is the maltose content determined by the HPLC method. For products of subheadings 17026080, 17029080 and 17029095, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, is to be determined by the refractometry method (expressed in degrees Brix in accordance with the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014 . For products of subheadings 17026080 and 17029080, the conversion of the results into sucrose equivalent is to be obtained by multiplying the degrees Brix by the coefficient 0,95. 5. For the purposes of subheadings 17023010, 17024010, 17026010 and 17029030, the term ‘isoglucose’ means the product obtained from glucose or its polymers with a content by weight in the dry state of at least 10 % fructose. For products of those subheadings, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, is to be determined by the refractometry method (expressed in degrees Brix in accordance with the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014). (b) in Chapter 21, Additional notes 3 and 4 are replaced by the following: ‘3. For the purposes of subheading 21069030, the term ‘isoglucose’ means the product obtained from glucose or its polymers with a content by weight in the dry state of at least 10 % fructose. 4. For products of subheadings 21069030 and 21069059, the sucrose content, including other sugars expressed as sucrose, is to be determined by the refractometry method (expressed in degrees Brix in accordance with the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 974/2014 .

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 1 October 2017.
