to CCC Certification just based on the HS Code.(Note2)
NC cannot be imported if its HS code is used for the product subject to CCC Certification. Thus, the importer
must apply for a "Certification of Exemption" with CNCA.(Note3) Refer to Appendix 7-1-4. Application for
Exemption for details on applying for an exemption.
