HS codes cited

Subject

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Customs union and common customs tariff — Tariff classification — Heading 3822 — Concept of ‘diagnostic or laboratory reagents’ — Indicators of exposure to a predetermined target temperature

Summary and operative part

On those grounds, the Court (Ninth Chamber) hereby rules: Heading 3822 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex 1 to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 861/2010 of 5 October 2010, must be interpreted as meaning that temperature indicators, such as the products marketed under the names ‘WarmMark’ and ‘ColdMark’, which, by the effect of a change in colour caused by the variation in volume of the liquids that they contain, indicate, irreversibly, whether a temperature higher or lower than a specified threshold has been reached, are not covered by that heading.
