For the purposes of heading 8517, the term ‘smartphones’ means telephones for cellular networks, equipped with a mobile operating system designed to perform the functions of an automatic data processing machine such as downloading and running multiple applications simultaneously, including third-party applications, and whether or not integrating other features such as digital cameras and navigational aid systems. 6. For the purposes of heading 8523 : (a) ‘solid-state non-volatile storage devices’ (for example, ‘flash memory cards’ or ‘flash electronic storage cards’) are storage devices with a connecting socket, comprising in the same housing one or more flash memories (for example, ‘Flash E2PROM’) in the form of integrated circuits mounted on a printed circuit board. They may include a controller in the form of an integrated circuit and discrete passive components, such as capacitors and resistors; (b) the term ‘smart cards’ means cards which have embedded in them one or more electronic integrated circuits (a microprocessor, random access memory (RAM) or read-only memory (ROM)) in the form of chips. These cards may contain contacts, a magnetic stripe or an embedded antenna but do not contain any other active or passive circuit elements. 7. For the purposes of heading 8524, ‘flat panel display modules’ refer to devices or apparatus for the display of information, equipped at a minimum with a display screen, which are designed to be incorporated into articles of other headings prior to use. Display screens for flat panel display modules include, but are not limited to, those which are flat, curved, flexible, foldable or stretchable in form. Flat panel display modules may incorporate additional elements, including those necessary for receiving video signals and the allocation of those signals to pixels on the display. However, heading 8524 does not include display modules which are equipped with components for converting video signals (e.g., a scaler IC, decoder IC or application processer) or have otherwise assumed the character of goods of other headings. For the classification of flat panel display modules defined in this note, heading 8524 shall take precedence over any other heading in the nomenclature. 8. For the purposes of heading 8534, ‘printed circuits’ are circuits obtained by forming on an insulating base, by any printing process (for example, embossing, plating-up, etching) or by the ‘film circuit’ technique, conductor elements, contacts or other printed components (for example, inductances, resistors, capacitors) alone or interconnected according to a pre-established pattern, other than elements which can produce, rectify, modulate or amplify an electrical signal (for example, semiconductor elements). The expression ‘printed circuits’ does not cover circuits combined with elements other than those obtained during the printing process, nor does it cover individual, discrete resistors, capacitors or inductances. Printed circuits may, however, be fitted with non-printed connecting elements. Thin- or thick-film circuits comprising passive and active elements obtained during the same technological process are to be classified in heading 8542. 9. For the purpose of heading 8536, ‘connectors for optical fibres, optical-fibre bundles or cables’ means connectors that simply mechanically align optical fibres end to end in a digital line system. They perform no other function, such as the amplification, regeneration or modification of a signal. 10.

EU classification regulations for 8544420000

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

8544 42 10 Nov 15, 2018 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

Insulated cables (so-called ‘stack cables’) in various lengths fitted with connectors at both ends.

Each cable consists of 32 insulated single conductors for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, bundled into 16 sheathed pairs which are not twisted. These pairs are covered by a metal foil and metal threads. The cables connect switches that form switching stations (so-called ‘stacks’) used in telecommunication networks (Local Area Networks (LAN)). They enable the bidirectional transfer of data between switches using Ethernet technology. The cables do not have any additional functions (for example, to supply electric power). See image (*1)

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 10 . Data transfer between apparatuses using telecommunication technology, such as Ethernet, is considered telecommunication for the purposes of CN code 8544 42 10 (see Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1112/2012 (1). The cables in question are designed to be used in telecommunication networks configured as LAN. Consequently, they are considered to be electrical conductors, fitted with connectors, used in telecommunication networks (see also CN Explanatory Notes to subheading 8544 42 10 ). The articles are therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 10 as other electric conductors for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, fitted with connectors, of a kind used for telecommunications.
8544 42 90 Nov 10, 2020 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

Cable winding system consisting of the following components:

— a cable fitted with a connector (a plug) at one end for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V; — a plastic cable winder equipped with a spring operated retractable mechanism (including a brake system to stop the winding), a brass contact system for transmission of electric current and plastic fittings. It is designed to be built into a vacuum cleaner. See images (*1).

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes, 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . Classification under heading 8508 as parts of vacuum cleaners is excluded as based on its objective characteristics the article is not identifiable as being solely or principally suitable for a vacuum cleaner. The article is a composite machine (its components are fitted together to form a whole) within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI, consisting essentially of a cable fitted with a connector of heading 8544 and a winder of heading 8479 . It is the cable that performs the principal function of the machine. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as other electrical conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, fitted with connectors.
8544 42 90 Dec 8, 2015 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

An article consisting of a plastic housing containing 4 metal terminals, diodes and cables with connectors (so-called ‘Photovoltaic (PV) junction box’).

The PV junction box is a device for transmitting (by cable) electricity, not exceeding 1 000 V and generated by a solar panel, to another PV module or PV inverter. The function of the diodes is only to protect the article against overvoltage (so-called ‘hot spots’). See image (*1).

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . Classification under heading 8541 as diodes is excluded as the diodes do not significantly change the characteristics and properties of the article as a PV junction box. The principal function of the article is considered to be that of making connections to or in electrical circuits. As the article is provided with cables, classification under heading 8536 as an apparatus for making connections to or in electrical circuits is also excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8536 , group (III) (A)). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as other electric conductors fitted with connectors.

8544 42 90 Nov 23, 2012 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

An insulated cable (so-called ‘USB cable’) with a length of 1 m which consists of insulated twisted wires and is fitted with USB connectors at both ends.

The cable makes it possible to transfer data between different types of apparatus. It also makes it possible to supply electrical power to those apparatus or to charge them.

Reasons

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . Data transfer between two apparatuses where no telecommunication technology, such as Ethernet, is used is not considered telecommunication for the purpose of subheading 8544 42 10 . Consequently, classification under subheading 8544 42 10 as a cable fitted with connectors of a kind used for telecommunications is excluded (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to subheading 8544 42 10 ). The cable is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as other electric conductors for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V fitted with connectors.
8544 42 90 Aug 6, 2010 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

An electrical extension cord comprising:

— an electrical cable of a length of approximately 2 m, — a plug for connecting to an electrical power mains socket, and — a plastic housing with 5 sockets, a power switch and a fuse. The product is designed to be used for the transport of electrical power of 220 V within a local area (for example, a room) to various apparatus. The switch disconnects the electrical power and the fuse protects against overloads. (*1) See image

Reasons

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . The functions provided by the switch and by the fuse are considered to be secondary as the principal function of the product is to transport electrical power by means of a cable fitted with connectors. Classification under heading 8536 as a connector is excluded as heading 8544 covers cables, whether or not fitted with connectors (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8536 (III)(A), final paragraph, and to heading 8544 ). The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as other electrical conductors fitted with connectors.
8544 42 90 Nov 13, 2008 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

A cable, approximately 250 cm in length, of a kind used solely with a video game machine of heading 9504 .

The cable is fitted with one specifically designed connector for the video game machine at one end and five connectors for connection to a monitor or a television set at the other end. Data can be transferred from the video game machine to the monitor or the television set via the cable and the data may, depending on the content, be visualised as a video game, video or still image or reproduced as sound.

Reasons

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN code 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . Classification under heading 9504 as an accessory of a video game machine is excluded, as heading 8544 provides the most specific description referring to cables and other electric conductors. The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as an electric conductor fitted with connectors.
