A product (so-called ‘LED dental light’) made of different materials such as glass, plastic and various metals and including several light-emitting diodes (LED). It is presented attached to a pivoting arm. The pivoting arm can either be mounted on a dental chair or e.g. on the wall or ceiling of a dental surgery. It is designed to illuminate the oral cavity during dentistry treatment. The level, colour and pattern of the light produced is specifically for use by dentists. See image (*1) |
9405 40 99 |
Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3 (c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9405 , 9405 40 and 9405 40 99 . Classification under heading 9018 as a medical instrument or appliance is excluded as the heading excludes certain items of complete dental equipment (such as shadowless lamps) when they are presented separately; those items are to be classified in their own respective headings (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 9018 , part (II), (ii) and exclusion under part (II)). The product has the characteristics and design of an electric lamp/lighting fitting of heading 9405 which covers electric specialised lamps and lighting fittings that can be constituted of any materials and use any source of light (see also the HSEN to heading 9405 , part (I). The product, which consists of different materials, none of them giving it its essential character, is therefore to be classified under CN code 9405 40 99 as other electric lamps and lighting fittings of other materials than plastics. |
