CN codes / chapter 16
CN chapter 16 and EU sanctions
Preparations of meat, of fish and of crustaceans
In chapter 16 of the Combined Nomenclature (Preparations of meat, of fish and of crustaceans), 2 CN codes are restricted by EU measures: 2 toward Russia and 2 toward Belarus. Determine the status of a single product on its code page, because the same chapter can hold both restricted and unrestricted entries.
| CN code | Goods | Regime | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1604 31 00 | Caviar | Belarus, Russia | import and export, import |
| 1604 32 00 | Caviar substitutes | Belarus, Russia | import and export, import |
Frequently asked questions
Is the whole of chapter 16 under sanctions?
No. The annexes list specific entries rather than whole chapters, with few exceptions. This list contains only codes present in the goods annexes. A code from chapter 16 that is not here requires separate verification, because restrictions outside the CN database may apply, for example dual-use or entity-based bans.
How do I know whether it is an export or import ban?
The direction follows from the article and annex where the code appears. The same code may be under an export ban to Russia and an import ban from Belarus at the same time. For every code we show the regime, annex, article and direction separately.
