The European Commission has published the consolidated list of “Classification Regulations” with the transposition of the CN codes according to the 2025 Combined nomenclature.
This list contains all “Classification Regulations” valid on 1 January 2025. These Regulations are established with reference to the valid CN code at the time of their adoption, i.e. in accordance with the version of the CN in force. However, due to the periodic revisions of the Harmonised System Nomenclature (occurring every five years) and the annual amendments to the CN, some previously adopted Classification Regulations may refer to CN codes that are no longer valid.
The published list now indicates the up-to-date CN code under which the goods covered by the currently valid “Classification Regulations” should be classified. This is a big step in simplification as the consolidated list will make it easier for economic operators to correctly classify their goods and for Member States to ensure uniform classification of goods. It is yet another contribution towards the reduction of the administrative burden.
