Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils See notes 2 and 3 to this chapter and the relevant explanatory notes. Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (other than crude) and preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations, other than those containing biodiesel and other than waste oils For definitions of these products, see note 2 to this chapter and the HS Explanatory Note to heading 2710 , (I). As regards the subheadings for products intended: see additional notes 5 and 6 to this chapter and the relevant explanatory notes. I. Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (other than crude) This group covers mixtures of isomers (other than stereoisomers) of saturated acyclic hydrocarbons containing less than 95 % of a particular isomer or of unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons containing less than 90 % of a particular isomer, these percentages being calculated on the weight of the anhydrous product. This group also covers separate isomers of the above hydrocarbons having a purity of less than 95 % and 90 %, respectively, by weight. This group covers only petroleum oils and oils from bituminous minerals: 1. having a crystallising point, as measured by the ASTM D 938 method (equivalent to the ISO 2207 method), below 30 °C; or 2. having a crystallising point of 30 °C or higher and (a) a density of less than 0,942 g/cm3 at 70 °C by the EN ISO 12185 method, and a worked cone penetration, as measured by the ASTM D 217 method (equivalent to the ISO 2137 method), of at least 350 at 25 °C; or (b) a minimum density of 0,942 g/cm3 at 70 °C by the EN ISO 12185 method, and a needle penetration, as measured by the EN 1426 method, of at least 400 at 25 °C. For the purposes of paragraph (I) above, petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals are also to be taken to include such oils to which very small quantities of various substances have been added, for example, as additives to improve quality or odour, tracers, colouring agents. See also the diagram below: Distinguishing criteria for certain petroleum products of subheadings 2710 12 11 to 2710 19 99 and of headings 2712 and 2713 (other than preparations of subheadings 2710 12 11 to 2710 19 99 ) II. Preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70 % or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations, other than those containing biodiesel To be classified in these subheadings, preparations must satisfy the following conditions: 1. the proportion by weight of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, as defined in part I above, must be 70 % or more. This proportion is that determined by analysis and not by the quantity of materials added; 2. they must be neither specified nor included elsewhere; 3. petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals in mixtures, must be the basic constituent of the preparation, that is, the essential constituent having regard to use. The preparations of these subheadings do not include: (a) paints and varnishes (headings 3208 , 3209 and 3210 00 ); (b) beauty preparations and cosmetics based on mineral oils (generally, heading 3304 or 3307 ); (c) petroleum sulphonates (heading 3402 or 3824 ). Petroleum sulphonates are usually in the form of suspensions in petroleum oil or oil obtained from bituminous minerals. The pure sulphonate content is usually so high as to preclude direct use as a lubricant; (d) preparations for polishing, preserving or otherwise treating wood, paintwork, metals, glass or other materials (mainly heading 3405 ); (e) disinfectants, insecticides, etc., however put up, consisting of solutions or dispersions of an active ingredient in petroleum oil or oil obtained from bituminous minerals (heading 3808 ); (f) prepared dressings of the kind used in the textile industry (heading 3809 ); (g) prepared additives for mineral oils (also called dopes) (heading 3811 ); (h) organic composite solvents and thinners (for example, heading 3814 00 ); (ij) foundry core binders (subheading 3824 10 00 ); (k) certain anti-rust preparations, in particular: (i) prepared, for example, from lanolin (approximately 20 %) in solution in white spirit (subheading 3403 19 10 ); (ii) containing amines as active ingredients (subheading 3824 99 92 ). 2710 12 11 to 2710 12 90 Light oils and preparations See subheading note 4 to this chapter. 2710 12 21 and 2710 12 25 Special spirits See additional note 2(a) to this chapter.

12 Jun 2014

Lukoyl Neftohim Burgas AD v Nachalnik na Mitnicheski punkt Pristanishte Burgas Tsentar pri Mitnitsa Burgas

On those grounds, the Court (Sixth Chamber) hereby rules: 1. The criterion to take into consideration in order to classify products with characteristics such as those of the product at issue in the main proceedings under Heading 2707 or Heading 2710 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011, is the content by weight of the aromatic constituents in relation to the non-aromatic constituents. 2. The expression ‘aromatic constituents’ in Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Regulation No 2658/87, as amended by Regulation No 1006/2011, must be interpreted as being wider than ‘aromatic hydrocarbons’. 3. It is, in principle, for the national courts to establish the most appropriate method to determine the content of aromatic constituents of a specific product in order to classify it under Heading 2707 or Heading 2710 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Regulation No 2658/87, as amended by Regulation No 1006/2011. 4. Point 1 of the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Regulation No 2658/87, as amended by Regulation No 1006/2011, on subheadings 2707 99 91 and 2707 99 99 thereof must be interpreted as being non-exhaustive, so that a product falling within Heading 2707 of the Combined Nomenclature which cannot be classified under a specific subheading must be classified under subheading 2707 99 99 thereof.

For the purposes of subheading 2707 20, 'toluol (toluene)' means products containing more than 50 % by weight of toluene. For the purposes of subheading 2707 30, 'xylol (xylenes)' means products containing more than 50 % by weight of xylenes. 2. For the purposes of heading 2710: (a) 'light oils and preparations' (subheadings 2710 12 to 2710 19 99) means those of which 90 % or more by volume (including losses) distils at 210 degrees C according to the ASTM D 86 method; (b) 'special spirits' (subheadings 2710 12 21 and 2710 12 25) means light oils as defined in paragraph (a), not containing any anti-knock preparations, and with a difference of not more than 60 degrees C between the temperatures at which 5 % and 90 % by volume (including losses) distil; (c) 'heavy oils' (subheadings 2710 19 and 2710 20) means those of which less than 90 % by volume (including losses) distils at 210 degrees C according to the ASTM D 86 method or of which the percentage distilling at 210 degrees C cannot be determined by that method; (d) 'gas oils' (subheadings 2710 19 25 to 2710 19 48 and 2710 20 11 to 2710 20 19) means heavy oils as defined in paragraph (c) of which 85 % or more by volume (including losses) distils at 350 degrees C according to the ASTM D 86 method; (e) 'fuel oils' (subheadings 2710 19 51 to 2710 19 68 and 2710 20 31 to 2710 20 39) means heavy oils as defined in paragraph (c) (other than gas oils as defined in paragraph (d)) for which the Conradson carbon residue figure (using the ASTM D 189 method) for the non-distillable residue: — is less than 2 % by weight of the sample, or — is 2 % or more, but less than 8 %. 3.

Chapter noteChapter 27 — Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation; Bituminous substances; Mineral waxes

1. This chapter does not cover: (a) separate chemically defined organic compounds, other than pure methane and propane which are to be classified in heading 2711; (b) medicaments of heading 3003 or 3004; (c) mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons of heading 3301, 3302 or 3805. 2. References in heading 2710 to 'petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals' include not only petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals but also similar oils, as well as those consisting mainly of mixed unsaturated hydrocarbons, obtained by any process, provided that the weight of the non-aromatic constituents exceeds that of the aromatic constituents. However, this does not apply to liquid synthetic polyolefins of which less than 60% by volume distils at 300 degrees Celsius, after conversion to 1,013 millibars when a reduced-pressure distillation method is used (Chapter 39). 3. For the purposes of heading 2710, 'waste oils' means waste containing mainly petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (as described in Note 2), whether or not mixed with water. These include: (a) such oils no longer fit for use as primary products (for example, used lubricating oils, used hydraulic oils and used transformer oils); (b) sludge oils from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, consisting mainly of such oils and a high concentration of additives (for example, chemicals) used in the manufacture of the primary products; (c) such oils in the form of emulsions in water or mixtures with water, such as those resulting from oil spills, storage tank washings, or from the use of cutting oils for machining operations.

Section noteNotes to Section V — Mineral products

Section V has no Section Notes. The classification rules for mineral products are governed by the individual Chapter Notes of Chapters 25, 26 and 27. In particular, Chapter 25 Note 1 provides that, except where context otherwise requires, headings of that Chapter cover only products in the crude state or which have been washed, crushed, ground, powdered, levigated, sifted, screened, concentrated by flotation, magnetic separation or other mechanical or physical processes (except crystallisation), but not products which have been roasted, calcined, obtained by mixing or subjected to processing beyond that mentioned in each heading.
