Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVII and by the wording of CN codes 8708, 8708 95 and 8708 95 99. The function of the device is to fill the airbag cushion with gases and not to produce pyrotechnic effects in the sense of Chapter 36. Consequently, classification under heading 3604 is excluded. ‘Producer gas generators’ are goods which produce fuel gas made from coke, anthracite or other carbonaceous material. The process of producing gas as a result of fast chemical reactions (explosions) of pyrotechnic materials is not covered by heading 8405. Consequently, the classification of the ‘airbag inflator’ under heading 8405 is excluded. (See also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8405 (A), (B)). As the device is a part of a safety airbag with inflator system (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8708 (O)), it is therefore to be classified under CN code 8708 95 99. |
