Please find below an updated list of stop words published by the EU.  As a reminder, a stop word used in isolation in the goods description will result in the declaration being rejected.

Stop words/phrases are being introduced in the Common Repository as part of the initiative to improve ENS data quality. They are being applied for all ICS2 countries and all filing types.
