8414 20 80 |
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and the wording of CN codes 8414, 8414 20 and 8414 20 80. Given its objective characteristics, the article is a hand-operated air pump, which is operated solely by human effort. Hand-operated pumps which are operated solely by human effort and which are designed to inflate specific air mattresses, fall under subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80 (see also the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature (CNEN), subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8414 20 80 as other hand-operated air pumps. |

8414 20 80 |
Classification is determined by GIR 1, 3(c) and 6 and the wording of CN code 8414, 8414 20 and 8414 20 80. On the one hand, the article is an inflatable pillow and, as such, is camping goods covered by heading 6306 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 6306 (5)). On the other hand, the article is also a hand-operated air pump operated solely by human effort and designed to inflate a specific air mattress which as such is covered by heading 8414 (see also the CNEN to subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80). Since neither of the two headings is more specific than the other within the meaning of GIR 3(a) and since the article cannot be classified by reference to GIR 3(b), it shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among the two headings (6306 and 8414) which equally merit consideration within the meaning of GIR 3(c). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8414 20 80 as other hand-operated air pumps. |
