Product caveats

Questions the HS/CN code cannot answer alone.

Is the product made entirely from material that has completed its lifecycle and would otherwise be discarded as waste?If yes: out of scope

By-products of a manufacturing process do not benefit from this exception — if the process used material that was not waste, the product stays in scope.

Annex I introductory paragraph; Directive 2008/98/EC Art. 3(1)
Is it a sample of negligible value and quantity used only to solicit orders, or a product sent for examination or testing that is used up, destroyed or returned?If yes: out of scopeDelegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102, Annex (5), table note to 'Relevant products'
Is it made of bamboo, rattan or another material of a woody nature?If yes: out of scopeDelegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102, Annex (4)
