Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 4421, 4421 99 and 4421 99 99. Classification under heading 9401 or 9403 as parts of furniture is excluded, firstly, as it is not possible to determine if the slats are solely/specifically to be assembled into the frames of products of heading 9401 or into the frames of products of heading 9403. Chapter 94 only covers parts of the goods of headings 9401 and 9403, when identifiable by their shape or other specific features as parts designed solely or principally for an article of those headings (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to Chapter 94, Parts). Secondly, the slats do not constitute parts of beds, armchairs or sofas, but as they are designed to be assembled into their frames, they constitute parts of a mattress support of heading 9404. According to Note 3 (B) to Chapter 94, mattress supports, presented separately, are not to be classified in, inter alia, heading 9401 or 9403 as parts of goods. As heading 9404 does not cover “parts”, but only complete products, classification under that heading is also excluded. The slats are according to their objective characteristics (paired dimensions, rounded edges, surface treatment, high load-bearing capacity and bending strength) recognisable as parts of frames. They have been worked in such a way that they have been given the essential character of articles of another heading (articles of laminated wood) (see also the HSEN to heading 4412, second paragraph). Classification under heading 4412 as laminated wood is therefore excluded. The slats are therefore to be classified according to their constituent material under CN code 4421 99 99 as other articles of wood. Documented CN 2026 code: 44219999.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 4421, 4421 90 and 4421 90 98. The articles fulfil the criteria for classification as goods put up in sets. The wooden receptacle is the article which gives the set its essential character. Classification of the wooden receptacle under heading 9405 is excluded as, on its own, it is not identifiable as a candle holder. As the wooden receptacle is to be classified according to its constituent material, the product is therefore to be classified under CN code 4421 90 98 as an article of wood. Documented CN 2026 code: 44219999, 4421. Commission 2026 transposition note: 4421 99 99 Modification of structure of heading 4421.

1655/2005

Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 2(a), 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 4421, 4421 90 and 4421 90 98. The essential character of the product is given by the constructive element (wooden frame). Because of the size it cannot be considered as a prefabricated building of heading 9406. Documented CN 2026 code: 44219999, 4421. Commission 2026 transposition note: 4421 99 99 Modification of structure of heading 4421
