Reglements de classement EU - The Trade Hub

Article de taille unique, mesurant environ 26 cm de longueur, constitué de deux coques latérales en plastique rigide de forme anatomique qui recouvrent l’articulation de la cheville et une partie du mollet.

Le classement est déterminé par les règles générales 1, 3 c) et 6 pour l’interprétation de la nomenclature combinée, par la note 7 d) de la section XI et par le libellé des codes NC 6307, 6307 90 et 6307 90 98. Le classement sous le code NC 9021 10 10 en tant qu’article et appareil d’orthopédie est exclu car l’article ne peut pas être adapté aux besoins d’un utilisateur spécifique. Étant donné que l’article est de taille unique et que les deux coques latérales sont rigides et ont une forme anatomique universelle, il n’est ni adapté ni adaptable à la forme de la cheville d’un utilisateur spécifique. En outre, l’article peut être serré uniquement à la hauteur du mollet, sans possibilité d’ajustement par serrage au niveau de l’articulation de la cheville. Par conséquent, l’article ne peut pas être adapté au handicap spécifique d’un patient au sens de l’arrêt de la Cour de justice du 7 novembre 2002, Lohmann et Medi Bayreuth, affaires jointes C-260/00 à C-263/00, ECLI:EU:C:2002:637 (voir points 38, 41, 42 et 45). En outre, étant donné que l’article n’est pas adaptable à la forme spécifique de la cheville de l’utilisateur, il ne permet pas d’empêcher complètement et en toutes circonstances certains mouvements non désirés (par exemple, l’inclinaison latérale) de l’articulation de la cheville afin de prévenir d’autres blessures (note 6 du chapitre 90) comme il est exigé pour les articles et appareils d’orthopédie de la position 9021, conformément au deuxième alinéa de la note complémentaire 2 du chapitre 90. Le classement sous le code NC 9021 10 90 en tant qu’article et appareil pour fractures est également exclu car l’article ne permet pas d’immobiliser une articulation de la cheville fracturée pour les raisons exposées ci-dessus [voir également les notes explicatives du système harmonisé relatives à la position 9021, point II) Articles et appareils pour fractures, premier alinéa]. Par conséquent, il convient de classer l’article en fonction de sa matière constitutive. Le produit est un article composite constitué de différentes matières (textiles et plastiques) au sens de la règle générale 3 b) pour l’interprétation de la nomenclature combinée. En ce qui concerne l’effet recherché, les coques en plastique ainsi que les sangles en matières textiles jouent un rôle d’importance équivalente. Par conséquent, les deux matières sont tout aussi essentielles au sens de la règle générale 3 b) pour l’interprétation de la nomenclature combinée et l’article doit être classé dans la position placée la dernière par ordre de numérotation parmi celles susceptibles d’être valablement prises en considération (positions 3926 et 6307) au sens de la règle générale 3 c) pour l’interprétation de la nomenclature combinée. Il convient dès lors de classer l’article sous le code NC 6307 90 98 en tant qu’autres articles confectionnés en toutes matières textiles.

An article in the form of a shell/inlet of very densely woven, single coloured 100 % cotton fabric, measuring approximately 80 cm × 80 cm. The edges are reinforced with woven piping. There is an opening on one side measuring approximately 25 cm to allow for filling. The shell/inlet is designed to be filled after importation with, for example, feathers and/or down and the opening will be permanently closed, to become a pillow.

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and by the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 90 and 6307 90 98. Classification of the article under heading 9404 as articles of bedding and similar furnishing is excluded because the article does not have the essential character of a complete article of heading 9404 within the meaning of GIR 2 (a). It is not yet stuffed or internally fitted with any material. Classification of the article under heading 6302 as bedlinen is excluded, because the article does not have the objective characteristics and properties of bedlinen of heading 6302 which includes articles such as sheets, pillowcases, eiderdown cases and mattress covers. Such articles are designed to cover, for example, a pillow or eiderdown and can be easily removed from them at any time (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 6302, first paragraph, point (1)). The article does not have the same function or use as bedlinen of heading 6302; it is a product of a different nature, as it is to be filled and permanently closed after the filling. The densely woven fabric and the fact that the article is permanently closed ensures that the filling material cannot escape. The filling material cannot be easily removed once the article has been closed. Unlike a pillowcase, the article becomes a part of the pillow. Moreover, the article is not in direct contact with the user, as it will be covered with a pillowcase (the bedlinen itself) before the consumer can use it. Given that the article cannot be classified in a heading that is more specific than heading 6307, it is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 98 as other made-up article, of textile fabrics. Documented CN 2026 code: 63079098.

A basket measuring approximately 32 × 27 × 20 cm in the shape of a cuboid. The article consists of wire of steel (diameter of the wire is approximately 4 mm) and paper. The wire is placed solely along the edges of the cuboid forming a frame. The frame sustains a fabric of warp and weft strands of paper. Each strand consists of two folded and twisted lengthwise strips of paper that are twisted together. Each twisted strip of paper measures approximately 5,5 mm in width. The wire is totally covere

Classification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 to Chapter 63 and by the wording of CN codes 6307 , 6307 90 and 6307 90 98 . The basket is not a household article of iron or steel of heading 7323 because it is not the wire of base metal but the paper fabric that gives the article its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b), as the article has the appearance of a paper basket. It does not have the appearance of a basket of metal as the wire is completely covered by the paper and thus, not visible. Moreover, the article is mainly made of paper. Classification in heading 7323 is therefore excluded. As the paper strips are twisted, they are considered paper yarn (textile yarn) within the meaning of heading 5308 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 5308 , (B) paper yarn, third paragraph). Classification of the article in Chapter 46 is excluded by virtue of Note 1 to Chapter 46 because textile yarns are not considered ‘plaiting materials’. Moreover, the yarns are woven together creating a fabric (warp and weft strands). The basket is therefore not an article of paper yarn but an article made of fabric and its classification in heading 5609 is excluded (see also the HSEN to heading 5609 , first and third paragraph, (c)). Made-up textile articles of any textile fabric which are not more specifically described elsewhere in the Nomenclature are classified under Sub-Chapter I of Chapter 63 (see also the HSEN to Chapter 63, General, (1), first paragraph). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 98 as other made-up textile articles. Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3926 , 3926 90 and 3926 90 97 . Classification under subheading 8536 70 00 as ‘connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables’ or under subheading 8536 90 10 as ‘connections and contact elements for wire and cables’ (which are electrical apparatus for making connections) is excluded, as the article in question is just a box. It is neither equipped with connectors for optical fibres, optical-fibre bundles or optical cables nor does it possess any ‘connections and contact elements for wire and cables’. Classification under heading 8538 as ‘parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8535 , 8536 or 8537 ’ is also excluded as due to the absence of connectors, contacts or provisions therefor, the article can be considered neither electrical apparatus of heading 8536 nor an identifiable part thereof. Consequently, the article is to be classified according to its constituent material (plastics) under CN code 3926 90 97 as other articles of plastics. Documented CN 2026 code: 63079098, 39269097.
