Charger of the direct-current-converter type (so-called ‘universal dual-port car charger’) comprising a car cigarette adapter, two USB interfaces and a light indicator. The charger has a voltage input of 12 V DC, a voltage output of 5 V DC and a current output of 500 mA or 2 × 250 mA. The charger is used for supplying power to charge various apparatus, such as mobile phones, PDA, GPS, cameras, MP3- and MP4-players.
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504, 8504 40 and 8504 40 90. The product is a static converter of the direct current converter type (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8504, (II), point (D)). The charger can be used for charging a variety of apparatus, for example, telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines, audio/video recording or reproducing apparatus and radio navigational aid apparatus. Classification under CN code 8504 40 30 as static converters of a kind used with telecommunication apparatus, automatic data- processing machines and units thereof is therefore excluded. The charger is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 40 90 as other static converters. Documented CN 2026 code: 85044095, 8504, 85044030. Commission 2026 transposition note: 8504 40 95 Modification of structure of heading 8504 The following paragraph is not relevant due to the change of the structure of the heading: “Classification under CN code 8504 40 30 as static converters of a kind used with telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof is therefore excluded.”
