Detailed considerations

A) Mainstream energy products (typical   CHED/GGB consideration: NO ) Product family Likely EU CN / HS headings CHED/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 family Likely EU CN / HS headings CHED/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). Product family Likely EU CN / HS headings CHED/GGB (CertEX consideration) Vegetable oils (edible / crude/refined variants) 1507   (soybean oil),   1511   (palm oil),   1512   (sunflower/cottonseed etc.),   1513   (coconut/palm kernel),   1514   (rapeseed/colza/mustard) Yes/Depends Oilseeds 1201   (soybeans),   1205   (rapeseed/colza),   1206   (sunflower),   1207   (other oil seeds/oleaginous fruits) Yes/Depends
