AN EMERGENCY KIT USED TO SUPPLY SOLAR ENERGY FOR POWERING DEVICES SUCH AS LAMPS, RADIOS AND MOBILE PHONES. THE KIT INCLUDES: A 1 W, 5.7 V SOLAR PANEL WITH AMORPHOUS, FLEXIBLE PV CELLS. DIMENSIONS: 230 MM X 130 MM. A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY/POWER PACK WITH 1300mAh/5V DC (2 X NiMH BATTERY CAPACITY) , SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CHARGING WITH THE SOLAR PANEL TO STORE ENERGY. AN ACTIVE RADIO CONNECTOR, THAT INCORPORATES A DC TO DC CONVERTER AND IS USED TO REPLACE D CELL BATTERIES IN RADIOS. THE RADIO CAN THEN BE PLAYED WHEN CONNECTED TO THE SOLAR PANEL OR POWER PACK. A PASSIVE RADIO CONNECTOR, USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN ACTIVE RADIO CONNECTOR, USED TO FILL A REMAINING SPACE IN A RADIO WHERE D CELL BATTERIES ARE NORMALLY PLACED. A PACK OF EIGHT MOBILE PHONE CONNECTORS THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE SOLAR PANEL OR POWER PACK TO CHARGE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MOBILE TELEPHONES. A RECHARGEABLE LAMP WITH 8 MM PURE WHITE SUPERBRIGHT LEDS, POWERED EITHER BY THE PANEL OR BY THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK. THE GOODS ARE PACKAGED TOGETHER IN A CARBOARD BOX.

THIS EMERGENCY KIT IS CLASSIFIED TO COMMODITY CODE 85013100 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING: GENERAL INTERPRETATIVE RULES (GIR) GIR 1 HAS BEEN USED TO CLASSIFY THIS PRODUCT BY THE TERMS OF HEADING 8501 FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS AND GENERATORS (EXCLUDING GENERATING SETS) GIR 3(B) HAS BEEN USED TO CLASSIFY THIS SET AS EACH ITEM IS CLASSIFIED UNDER SEPARATE HEADINGS BUT THEY ARE PUT TOGETHER TO MEET A PARTICULAR NEED, I.E., TO PROVIDE ELECTRICAL ENERGY WHERE NONE IS AVAILABLE. THE SET HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED TO THE SOLAR PANEL AS THIS GIVES THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER. GIR 5(B) HAS BEEN USED AS THE GOODS ARE PACKAGED IN NORMAL PACKING FOR TRANSPORT GIR 6 HAS BEEN USED TO CLASSIFY THE GOODS TO SUBHEADING LEVEL, FOR OTHER DC MOTORS; DC GENERATORS NOTES TO SECTION XVI INCLUDE: 3. UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, COMPOSITE MACHINES CONSISTING OF TWO OR MORE MACHINES FITTED TOGETHER TO FORM A WHOLE AND OTHER MACHINES DESIGNED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING TWO OR MORE COMPLEMENTARY OR ALTERNATIVE FUNCTIONS ARE TO BE CLASSIFIED AS IF CONSISTING ONLY OF THAT COMPONENT OR AS BEING THAT MACHINE WHICH PERFORMS THE PRINCIPAL FUNCTION. 4. WHERE A MACHINE (INCLUDING A COMBINATION OF MACHINES) CONSISTS OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS (WHETHER SEPARATE OR INTERCONNECTED BY PIPING, BY TRANSMISSION DEVICES, BY ELECTRIC CABLES OR BY OTHER DEVICES) INTENDED TO CONTRIBUTE TOGETHER TO A CLEARLY DEFINED FUNCTION COVERED BY ONE OF THE HEADINGS IN CHAPTER 84 OR 85, THEN THE WHOLE FALLS TO BE CLASSIFIED IN THE HEADING APPROPRIATE TO THAT FUNCTION. HARMONISED SYSTEM EXPLANATORY NOTES (HSEN)TO HEADING 8501 INCLUDE: (II) ELECTRIC GENERATORS MACHINES THAT PRODUCE ELECTRICAL ENERGY FROM VARIOUS ENERGY SOURCES (MECHANICAL, SOLAR, ETC.) ARE CLASSIFIED HERE, PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE NOT MORE SPECIFICALLY COVERED BY ANY OTHER HEADING OF THE NOMENCLATURE. THE HEADING ALSO COVERS PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATORS CONSISTING OF PANELS OF PHOTOCELLS COMBINED WITH OTHER APPARATUS, EG., STORAGE BATTERIES AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLS (VOLTAGE REGULATOR, INVERTER, ETC.) AND PANELS OR MODULES EQUIPPED WITH ELEMENTS, HOWEVER SIMPLE (FOR EXAMPLE, DIOPDES TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE CURRENT), WHICH SUPPLY THE POWER DIRECTLY TO, FOR EXAMPLE, A MOTOR, ELECTROLYSER. IN THESE DEVICES ELECTRICITY IS PRODUCED BY MEANS OF SOLAR CELLS WHICH CONVERT SOLAR ENERGY DIRECTLY INTO ELECTRICITY (PHOTOVOLTAIC CONVERSION).
