Customs status and Type of Products

The legislation defines Union goods in article 5, paragraph 23, UCC. Products with the non-Union customs status are referred to as any Product NOT of the Union customs status (article 5, paragraph 24, UCC). Inherent to the definition is that in case Product of the Union status are mixed with non-Union goods, the Product no longer meets the criteria of Union good and hence 'loses its customs status'.

Product can lose its Union customs status when placed under a customs procedure insofar the law allows it (article 154, sub b, UCC)
