Elastic lumbar belt with soft steel strips and removable pressure cushion

The product is a belt approximately 25 cm wide at the lumbar level, primarily made of highly elastic knitted fabrics, intended to be worn around the lower back. It features a central vertical non-elastic fabric strip secured by a Velcro fastener, and two external elastic straps adjustable with Velcro to increase the applied pressure. Inside, four vertical pockets contain soft steel strips (22x2 cm), two of which are removable and easily foldable by hand. A foam pressure cushion covered with fabric, heart-shaped (16x15 cm), can be attached via Velcro to the central rear part to exert targeted pressure on the spine. The product is available in five sizes according to waist circumference. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI 1 and 6), note 7 d) of Section XI, note 1 b) of Chapter 90, and the descriptions of CN codes 6212 and 6212 90 00, this product is classified as other articles of textiles, CN code 6212 90 00. Classification as an orthopedic article (code 9021 10 10) is excluded because elasticity is the sole supporting factor, with the soft steel strips and pressure cushion having only an insignificant supporting effect. Furthermore, the belt does not fully restrict spinal movements as required for orthopedic articles under note 6 of Chapter 90 and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (joined cases C-260/00 to C-263/00).
