application of tariff and other measures relating to trade
in goods.

Pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in
column 1 of the table annexed to the present Regulation
must be classified under the CN codes indicated in
column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3.

Reason

(3)

Classification is determined by General Rules 1
and 6 for the interpretation of
the Combined
Nomenclature, Note 2(a) to Chapter 40, Note 7 to
Section XI, Note 4(a) to Chapter 59, Note 1 to
Chapter 61 and the wording of CN codes 6116,
6116 10 and 6116 10 20.

See also the HS Explanatory Notes to Headings
4015 and 6116.

Taking into account that the weight of the coated
fabric from which the glove is made does not
exceed 1 500 g/m2, this glove should be classified
the heading 6116.
as a knitted glove under

Classification is determined by General Rules 1
and 6 for the interpretation of
the Combined
Nomenclature, Note 7(e) to Section XI, Note 1 to
Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307,
6307 90 and 6307 90 10.

The product cannot be classified under heading
No 8708, ‘parts and accessories of motor vehicles’,
as its shape covers only one particular section of a
window and it is therefore not suitable for use
solely or principally with the articles of Chapters
86, 87 or 88.

It does not fall within heading Nos 6303 and
6304 as it is neither an interior blind nor an
interior fitting.
