ANNEX

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

A product consisting of a paperboard roll and a handle made of moulded plastics (so-called ‘textile roller’).

The paperboard roll is covered by a paper which is self-adhesive on the outer side and covered by synthetic plastics on the inner side.

The paperboard roll, with a self-adhesive paper, is disposable and interchangeable. It is wrapped in a protective layer of paper containing a description of the functioning of the product.

The product is intended to be used for the removal of, for example, dust, lint, hair, dandruff, from textile clothes, etc.

9603 90 91

Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 4 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9603, 9603 90 and 9603 90 91.

The product, which is not prima facie classifiable under a specific heading, is most akin to brushes of heading 9603. Heading 9603 comprises a variety of articles differing considerably both in materials and shape (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 9603).

The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9603 90 91 as other brushes.
