EU classification regulations for 4202120000

Commission regulations that classified specific goods under this code. They bind customs in every member state for identical goods.

• 4202 12 50 Jul 3, 2017 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
  A composite product consisting of the following components:

  — a vertical aluminium column approximately 95 cm high, with an axle at the base and a plastic wheel affixed at either end of the axle, — a foldable, horizontal aluminium board designed for standing on, with a plastic wheel affixed at the far end with a brake mechanism attached to it, — a suitcase with an outer surface made of moulded plastic material, measuring approximately 55 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm and fixed to the vertical column by clamps which can be opened. The product is intended for use by anyone aged 8 or over. Its function as a means of transporting goods can be combined with its function as a scooter or, it can be drawn or pushed along in order to transport the suitcase on the wheels, when the horizontal board is up. See images of the article (*1).

  Reasons

  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 4202 , 4202 12 and 4202 12 50 . The product is composite goods. Its main function is essentially to transport goods in the suitcase. This can be done either by someone standing on the horizontal board and propelling the product along (with the board folded down) or by someone pushing or pulling it along in the same way as a conventional trolley suitcase on wheels (with the board folded up). The scooter components (components not being parts of standard trolley bags, that is, the foldable horizontal board with a plastic wheel (with a brake)) are of subordinate character that facilitates the transport of goods contained in the suitcase. It is therefore the suitcase that gives the product its essential character. Classification under heading 8716 as other vehicles, or under heading 9503 as a scooter, is accordingly excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 4202 12 50 as a suitcase with an outer surface of moulded plastic material.

• 4202 12 50 May 7, 2012 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
  An article having the shape of an almost square, stylised elephant, measuring approximately 32 × 48 × 24 cm, consisting of two halves that are made of moulded, rigid plastic. It has four wheels and a removable shoulder strap that can also be used to pull the article along.

  The two halves are held together by an integral hinged seam across the bottom and by two security snap closures at its opposite ends, which stop the article from opening immediately all the way. The hinges allow the two halves of the article to lie flat on the ground when opened. One half of the article is fitted with two textile straps forming an X when linked by a clip. It also has a small flat textile pocket attached on the inside. The other half of the article is fitted with a separation flap of textile material holding one flat pocket with a zip closure. The separation flap is fixed to the side of the article, where the hinges are, and can be attached to the opposite side of that half. (suitcase) (See photographs nos. 660 A and B) (*1)

  Reasons

  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(d) to Chapter 95, and the wording of CN codes 4202 , 4202 12 and 4202 12 50 . The article has the objective characteristics of suitcases of heading 4202 , for example the moulded rigid plastic material, the hinges, the closure system, the straps, separation flap and pockets, the wheels and the fact that it is shaped and can be used as a container that opens like a typical hinged suitcase. These characteristics indicate that the article is to be considered as a suitcase and not a wheeled toy. Therefore, classification as a wheeled toy similar to pedal cars of heading 9503 is excluded. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 4202 12 50 , as a suitcase of moulded plastic material.
