General rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature  Classification of goods in the combined nomenclature shall be governed by the following principles  : 1. The titles of sections, chapters and sub-chapters are provided for ease of reference only; for  legal purposes, classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings and any  relative section or chapter notes and, provided such headings or notes do not otherwise require,  according to the following provisions. 2. (a) Any reference in a heading to an article shall be taken to include a reference to that  article incomplete or unfinished, provided that, as presented, the incomplete or unfinished article  has the essential character of the complete or finished article. It shall also be taken to include  a reference to that article complete or finished (or falling to be classified as complete or  finished by virtue of this rule), presented unassembled or disassembled.  (b) Any reference in a heading to a material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to  mixtures or combinations of that material or substance with other materials or substances. Any  reference to goods of a given material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to goods  consisting wholly or partly of such material or substance. The classification of goods consisting  of more than one material or substance shall be according to the principles of rule  3. 3. When by application of rule  2 (b) or for any other reason, goods are prima facie classifiable  under two or more headings, classification shall be effected as follows  : (a) the heading which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to headings  providing a more general description. However, when two or more headings each refer to part only of  the materials or substances contained in mixed or composite goods or to part only of the items in a  set put up for retail sale, those headings are to be regarded as equally specific in relation to  those goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or precise description of the goods;  (b) mixtures, composite goods consisting of different materials or made up of different  components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3   (a), shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their  essential character in so far as this criterion is applicable;  (c) when goods cannot be classified by reference to 3  (a) or (b), they shall be classified under  the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. 4. Goods which cannot be classified in accordance with the above rules shall be classified under  the heading appropriate to the goods to which they are most akin. 5. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the following rules shall apply in respect of the goods  referred to therein : (a) camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, drawing-instrument cases, necklace cases and  similar containers, specially shaped or fitted to contain a specific article or set of articles,  suitable for long-term use and presented with the articles for which they are intended, shall be  classified with such articles when of a kind normally sold therewith. This rule does not, however,  apply to containers which give the whole its essential character;  (b) subject to the provisions of rule 5  (a), packing materials and packing containers ()  presented with the goods therein shall be classified with the goods if they are of a kind normally  used for packing such goods. However, this provision is not binding when such packing materials or  packing containers are clearly suitable for repetitive use. 6. For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the subheadings of a heading shall be  determined according to the terms of those subheadings and any related subheading notes and mutatis  mutandis to the above rules, on the understanding that only subheadings at the same level are  comparable. For the purposes of this rule the relative section and chapter notes also apply, unless  the context otherwise requires. B. General rules concerning duties 1. The customs duties applicable to imported goods originating  in countries which are Contracting Parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or with  which the European Community has concluded agreements containing the most-favoured-nation tariff  clause shall be the conventional duties shown in column  4 of the schedule of duties. Unless the  context otherwise requires, these conventional duties are applicable to goods, other than those  referred to above, imported from any third country. The autonomous duties shown in column  3 are applicable when they are less than the conventional  duties. 2. Paragraph  1 shall not apply where special autonomous customs duties are provided for in respect  of goods originating in certain countries or where preferential customs duties are applicable in  pursuance of agreements. 3. Paragraphs  1 and  2 shall not preclude the Member States from applying customs duties other  than those of the Common Customs Tariff where the application of such other duties is justified by  Community law. 4. The duties expressed as percentage rates in columns  3 and 4 are ad valorem duties. 5. The symbol 'EA` in columns 3 and 4 indicates that the goods concerned are chargeable with an  'agricultural component` fixed in accordance with Annex  1. 6. The symbol 'AD S/Z` or 'AD F/M` in columns 3 and 4 in Chapters  17 to 19 indicates that the  maximum rate of duty consists of an ad valorem duty plus an additional duty for certain forms of  sugar or for flour. This additional duty is fixed in accordance with the rules provisions of Annex   1. 7. In Chapter 22 the symbol 'ECU/% vol/hl` in columns 3 and 4 means that a specific duty, expressed  in Ecus, is to be calculated for each percentage volume of alcohol per hectolitre. Thus a beverage  having an alcohol content by volume of 40 % is to be charged as follows : - ECU  1/% vol/hl = ECU  1 × 40, giving a duty of ECU  40 per hectolitre, or - ECU  1/% vol/hl +  ECU  5/hl = ECU  1 × 40 plus ECU  5, giving a duty of ECU  45 per hectolitre.  Where, in addition, a minimum (MIN) value is shown, for example ECU  1,6/% vol/hl MIN ECU  9/hl,  it means that the duty, calculated on the basis of the abovementioned rule, is to be compared with  the minimum duty, for example ECU  9 per hectolitre, and the higher of the two is to be applied. C. General rules applicable both to nomenclature and to duties 1. Unless provided otherwise, the  provisions relating to customs value shall be applied to determine, in addition to the value for  the assessment of ad valorem customs duties, the values by reference to which the scope of certain  headings or subheadings is defined. 2. The dutiable weight, in the case of goods chargeable by weight, and the weights by reference to  which the scope of certain headings or subheadings is defined, shall be taken to be  : (a) in the case of a reference to 'gross weight`, the aggregate weight of the goods and of all the  packing materials and packing containers;  (b) in the case of a reference to 'net weight` or simply to 'weight` without qualification, the  weight of the goods themselves without packing materials and packing containers of any kind. 3. Pursuant to Article  18  (1) of Regulation (EEC) No  2913/92 () and without prejudice to special  provisions drawn up in other fields, in particular for agriculture (), the equivalent in national  currencies of the ecu by reference to which certain specific customs duties are expressed, or which  is used as a criterion limiting the scope of certain subheadings, shall be that obtaining on the  first working day of October 1995 to be published in the 'C` series of the Official Journal of the  European Communities.  However, where a change in the bilateral central rate of one or more national currencies occurs  the provisions of Article  18 (2) of the abovementioned Regulation shall apply. SECTION IISPECIAL PROVISIONS A. Goods for certain categories of ships, boats  and other vessels and for drilling or production platforms 1. Customs duties shall be suspended in  respect of goods intended for incorporation in the ships, boats or other vessels listed in the  following schedule, for the purposes of their construction, repair, maintenance or conversion, and  in respect of goods intended for fitting to or equipping such ships, boats or other vessels. 2.

These goods are covered by subheading () with a footnote reference in the following terms  : Entry under this subheading is subject to conditions laid down in the relevant Community  provisions. See also Section  II, paragraph  B, of the Preliminary Provisions. 2. For the purposes of paragraph  1, 'civil aircraft` means aircraft other than aircraft used in  military or similar services in the Member States which carry a military or non-civil  registration. 3. For the application of paragraph  1, second indent, the expression 'for use in civil aircraft`  in all relevant subheadings () shall include goods for use in ground flying trainers for civil  use. C.

D. Standard rate of duty 1. Customs duty shall be charged at the flat rate of 10 % ad valorem on  goods  :  P contained in consignments sent by one private individual to another, or  P contained in travellers' personal luggage,  provided that such importations are not of a commercial nature. This flat rate 10 % customs duty shall apply provided that the value of the goods subject to import  duty does not exceed ECU  200 per consignment or per traveller. Such flat rate assessment shall not apply to goods falling within Chapter  24 which are contained  in a consignment or in travellers' personal luggage in amounts exceeding those laid down in Article   31 or in  Article  46 of Council Regulation (EEC) No  918/83 (), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No  355/94 (). 2. Importations shall be treated as not being of a commercial nature if  :  (a) in the case of goods contained in consignments sent by one private individual to another, such  consignments :   P are of an occasional nature,   P contain goods exclusively for the personal use of the consignee or his family; which do not by  their nature or quantity reflect any commercial interest,   P are sent to the consignee by the consignor free of payment of any kind;  (b) in the case of goods contained in travellers' personal luggage, they :   P are of an occasional nature, and  P consist exclusively of goods for the personal use of the travellers or their families, or  of goods intended as presents; the nature and quantity of such goods must not be such as might  indicate that they are being imported for commercial reasons. 3. The flat rate of customs duty shall not apply to goods imported under the conditions set out in  paragraphs  1 and 2 if the person entitled has, before the said flat rate is applied to them,  requested that they be subject to the customs duties appropriate to them. All the goods making up  the consignment shall then be subject to the import duties which are appropriate to them, without  prejudice to the duty-free admission provided for pursuant to Articles  29 to 31 and 45 to 49 of  Regulation (EEC) No  918/83. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, import duties shall mean both customs duties and  charges having equivalent effect and other import charges provided for under the common  agricultural policy or under specific arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the  processing of agricultural products. 4. Member States may round off the amount in national currencies resulting from the conversion of  the sum of ECU  200.5. Member States may maintain unchanged the equivalent in national currency of the sum of ECU  200  if, at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in the first paragraph of Article  18 (1) of  Regulation (EEC) No  2913/92 the conversion of this amount, before the rounding off provided for in  paragraph  4, results in a change of less than 5 % in the equivalent in national currency, or in a  reduction thereof. E. Containers and packing materials The following provisions are applicable to the containers and  packing materials referred to in general interpretative rule  5 (a) and (b) and put into free  circulation at the same time as the goods which they contain or with which they are presented. 1. When the containers and packing materials are classified with the goods in accordance with the  provisions of general interpretative rule  5, they shall be : (a) chargeable at the same rate of customs duty as the goods :   P where such goods are subject to an ad valorem customs duty, or  P where they are to be  included in the dutiable weight of the goods;  (b) admitted free of customs duties :  P where the goods are free of customs duty, or  P where the goods are dutiable otherwise than by  reference to weight or value, or  P where the weight of the containers and packing materials is  not to be included in the dutiable weight of the goods. 2. Where containers and packing materials covered by the provisions of paragraph  1 (a) and (b)  contain or are presented with goods of several different tariff descriptions, the weight and value  of the containers and packing materials shall, for the purpose of determining their dutiable weight  or value, be apportioned among all the goods contained, in proportion to the weight or value of  those goods.

However, except for the last  mentioned, those having an internal cross-section other than round, oval, rectangular (in which the  length does not exceed one-and-a-half times the width) or in the shape of a regular polygon are not  to be regarded as tubes, pipes and hoses but as profile shapes.  9. For the purposes of heading No  3918, the expression 'wall or ceiling coverings of plastics` applies to products in rolls, of a  width not less than 45  cm, suitable for wall or ceiling decoration, consisting of plastics fixed  permanently on a backing of any material other than paper, the layer of plastics (on the face side)  being grained, embossed, coloured, design-printed or otherwise decorated. 10. In heading Nos 3920  and 3921, the expression 'plates, sheets, film, foil and strip` applies only to plates, sheets,  film, foil and strip (other than those of Chapter  54) and to blocks of regular geometric shape,  whether or not printed or otherwise surface-worked, uncut or cut into rectangles (including  squares) but not further worked (even if when so cut they become articles ready for use). 11.

Subheading note 1. Within  any one heading of this chapter, polymers (including copolymers) and chemically modified polymers  are to be classified according to the following provisions  : (a) where there is a subheading named  'Other` in the same series  : (1) the designation in a subheading of a polymer by the prefix 'poly`  (e.g., polyethylene and polyamide-6,6) means that the constituent monomer unit or monomer units of  the named polymer taken together must contribute 95  % or more by weight of the total polymer  content; (2) the copolymers named in subheadings Nos  3901 30, 3903 20, 3903 30 and 3904 30 are to  be classified in those subheadings, provided that the comonomer units of the named copolymers  contribute 95  % or more by weight of the total polymer content; (3) chemically modified polymers  are to be classified in the subheading named 'Other`, provided that the chemically modified  polymers are not more specifically covered by another subheading; (4) polymers not meeting (1), (2)  or (3) above, are to be classified in the subheading, among the remaining subheadings in the  series, covering polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single  comonomer unit. For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same  subheading shall be taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the  series of subheadings under consideration are to be compared; (b) where there is no subheading  named 'Other` in the same series  :   (1) polymers are to be classified in the subheading covering  polymers of that monomer unit which predominates by weight over every other single comonomer unit.  For this purpose, constituent monomer units of polymers falling in the same subheading shall be  taken together. Only the constituent comonomer units of the polymers in the series under  consideration are to be compared; (2) chemically modified polymers are to be classified in the  subheading appropriate to the unmodified polymer. Polymer blends are to be classified in the same  subheading as polymers of the same monomer units in the same proportions. >TABLE>CHAPTER 40 RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF Notes 1.
