Additional consequential amendments to the hs nomenclature 2012 edition

The WCO Council, at its 117th/118th Sessions in June 2011, adopted supplementary corrigendum amendments to the HS Nomenclature 2012 Edition.

The supplementary corrigendum amendments were required in order to correct a few editorial errors and technical inconsistencies found in the Recommendation of 26 June 2009 concerning the amendment of the HS Nomenclature for entry into force on 1 January 2012.

The corrigendum amendments to the Nomenclature (HS 2012) read as follows :

CHAPTER 3.

Subheading 0302.24.

Delete and substitute :

“0302.24 -- Turbots (Psetta maxima)”.

Subheading 0303.34.

Delete and substitute :

“0303.34 -- Turbots (Psetta maxima)”.

CHAPTER 7.

Subheading 0713.34. Subheading text.

French text only.

An Article 16 Recommendation concerning the legal requirements consequential upon the corrigendum amendments to the HS 2012 will enter into force on 1 January 2017, following the procedure established under Article 16 of the HS Convention.

However, by applying the corrigendum procedure approved by the Council at its Sessions in June 2011, the amendments could enter into force on the 1st of January 2012 to reflect the situation as from that date.
