EU classification regulations for 4911910000

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

• 4911 91 00 Jun 8, 2016 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
  A product consisting of the following components, packed as a set:

  — A rectangular cut-out (approx. 14 × 21 cm) made of a plastic film of two layers, printed on the front with black-and-white motifs. The cut-out is fitted with a self-adhesive strip on the back. From this cut-out, six pre-cut, raised stickers (the top plastic film is in relief) can be peeled off. — Three porous-tipped felt pens in different colours. The felt pens are packed together in a small plastic package. The stickers are to be coloured in with the felt pens and then used for decoration purposes. See image (*1).

  Reasons

  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Section VII of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 4911 and 4911 91 00 . The product is presented as a set for retail sale. Its essential character is given by the stickers. Classification under heading 3919 is excluded as the shape of the pre-cut, raised stickers is not flat. Classification under heading 3926 is excluded as the printing is not merely incidental to the primary use of the goods (see Note 2 to Section VII). Chapter 49 covers, with a few exceptions, all printed matter of which the essential nature and use is determined by the fact of it being printed with motifs, characters or pictorial representations (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to Chapter 49, General, first paragraph). Self-adhesive printed stickers designed to be used for decoration are covered by heading 4911 (see also the HSEN to heading 4911 , point (10)). Therefore, the product is to be classified in CN code 4911 91 00 .

• 4911 91 00 Dec 2, 2015 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

  A hard-covered bound article (so-called ‘photo bookf’) made of paper measuring approximately 21 cm × 31 cm, with full-colour printed personalised photographs and a short text referring to the activities, events, persons, etc. shown in the respective photographs.

  Reasons

  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 4911 and 4911 91 00 . Classification under heading 4901 as a book is excluded, because the article is not intended for reading (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 4901 , first paragraph). The article is designed for presenting personalised photographs for private viewing. It is therefore to be classified under CN code 4911 91 00 as photographs.

• 4911 91 00 Nov 23, 2012 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
  An article in the form of nine cut-out printed stickers of paperboard, featuring various insects and other small creatures and decorated with artificial stones and glitter, on a sheet of plastic measuring approximately 30 × 30 cm.

  Each sticker is fitted with a self-adhesive strip and can be fixed to a chosen surface. It is possible subsequently to move the sticker to another surface. The stickers are used for decoration. (*1) See image.

  Reasons

  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 12 to Chapter 48 and by the wording of CN codes 4911 and 4911 91 00 . By virtue of Note 12 to Chapter 48, paperboard printed with motifs, characters or pictorial representations where those are not merely incidental to the primary use of the goods, fall under Chapter 49. The article is printed matter exclusively representing pictures, and it is used for decoration purposes. Classification under heading 4823 as other paperboard is therefore excluded. Self-adhesive printed stickers designed to be used for decoration are covered by heading 4911 (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 4911 , point (10)). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 4911 91 00 as other printed pictures.
