Wheres the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Nomenclature Committee,

ANNEX

Description of goods Classification CN code Reasons (1) (2) (3) Set of two garments put up for retail sale consisting of:

(a) a (loose-fitting woven windjacket (100 % synthetic fibres) lightweight, lined in the upper part of the garment, consisting of two different coloured fabrics. It has a collar and is fully opening at the front with a zip-fastening. This opening has a protective flap with press studs fastening left over right. It has loose-fitting long sleeves which are elasticated at the sleeve-ends. There is also elastication at the base of the garment. There is a hood which can be tucked into a pouch in the collar. The hood has a drawstring and the pouch has a zip fastening. There are two internal pockets with protective flaps at the waist. (See photograph No 407 A) (1) 6201 93 00 Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, by Note 13 to Section XI, by Note 8 to Chapter 62 in the case of the trousers, as well as by the texts of CN codes 6201, 6201 93 00 and 6204 and 6204 63 19

Classification as a tracksuit is excluded because, owing to the general appearance and the nature of the fabrics (protection against wind and rain), these garments are not clearly meant to be worn exclusively or mainly in the pursuit of sporting activities (b) A lightweight woven pair of trousers (100 % synthetic fibres) of one colour reaching from the waist to the ankles, tightening at the waist by means of elastication and a drawstring. The bottoms of the trouser legs have zip-fastenings and can be tightened by velcro strips. The garment has two internal pockets. (See photograph No 407 B) (1) 6204 63 19
