The letters CE appear on many products traded on the extended Single Market in the European Economic Area (EEA). By affixing the CE marking to a product, a manufacturer declares that the product meets all the legal requirements for CE Marking and can be sold throughout the EEA without restriction. This also applies to products made in other countries that are sold in the EEA. The CE marking does not indicate that a product has been approved as safe by the EU or another authority. Not all products must have CE marking. It is compulsory only for most of the products covered by the New Approach Directives.

Seats HS heading 94.01
In some EU preferential trade arrangements, the rule for the seats (HS heading 94.01) requires:

- sawn wood (HS heading 44.07)
- fabrics (HS heading 52.08)
- foam/porolone (HS heading 39.03)
All non-originating materials used in the production are classified in tariff headings different from the tariff heading of the seats. Therefore, the product (seats) complies with the rule of origin.

"Manufacture [production] from [non-originating] materials of any subheading, except that of the product (CTSH)"

All non-originating materials used in the production are classified under a tariff subheading different from the tariff subheading of the roasted coffee. Therefore, the product (roasted coffee) complies with the rule of origin.
