# Detailed considerations ## A) Mainstream energy products (typical **CHED/GGB consideration: NO**)
Product familyLikely EU CN / HS headingsCHED/GGB (CertEX consideration)
**Crude oil****2709 00** (petroleum oils, crude)**No** (not SPS/food/feed)
**Refined petroleum products (broad bucket)****2710** (petroleum oils other than crude; preparations; etc.)**No**
**Jet / kerosene**Typically under **2710**; common EU references include **2710 19 21** (jet fuel) and **2710 19 25** (other kerosene)**No**
**LPG / petroleum gases (propane/butane etc.)****2711** (petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; incl. liquefied propane/butanes)**No**
(These are energy products; in normal cases they do not fall under CHED categories.) ## B) Biofuels & feedstocks (typical **CHED/GGB consideration: DEPENDS**)
Product familyLikely EU CN / HS headingsCHED/GGB (CertEX consideration)Why “depends”
**Biodiesel / FAME / biodiesel blends****3826 00** (biodiesel and mixtures) **Depends**Generally industrial/energy, but classification & controls can be affected by documentation/intended use and any specific EU measures.
**Denatured ethanol (fuel ethanol)****2207 20 00** (denatured ethyl alcohol)**Depends (often No)**Usually not CHED, but if consignment is treated within food/feed controls or special regimes, checks can differ.
**Tallow / animal fats****1502** (tallow)**Depends (often Yes if ABP-related)**Can fall into **animal by‑product / veterinary** logic depending on grade/intended use and accompanying certification.
**Used cooking oil (UCO) / inedible mixed oils**Frequently screens under **1518 00** (inedible mixtures/preparations of animal/vegetable fats/oils; chemically modified; etc.)**Depends (often Yes)**UCO is explicitly discussed in SPS contexts as HS **1518** in trade/SPS notifications; whether CHED applies depends on the specific control regime and use.
**Practical takeaway for B:** for **UCO (1518)** and **tallow (1502)** you should treat CHED/GGB as a **live risk** until proven otherwise for that exact cargo (origin, documentation, intended use, importer status, BCP requirements). ## C) Food/feed of non-animal origin (typical **CHED/GGB consideration: YES / DEPENDS**) These are the common CN families for **vegetable oils and oilseeds** (often used in food/feed chains, and therefore most likely to interact with “official controls” workflows, potentially via **CHED‑D** depending on specific risk lists and origin).
