Subject to note 1 above, parts and accessories for machines, apparatus, instruments or articles of this chapter are to be classified according to the following rules: (a) Parts and accessories which are goods included in any of the headings of this chapter or of Chapter 84, 85 or 91 (other than heading 8487, 8548 or 9033) are in all cases to be classified in their respective headings. (b) Other parts and accessories, if suitable for use solely or principally with a particular kind of machine, instrument or apparatus, or with a number of machines, instruments or apparatus of the same heading (including a machine, instrument or apparatus of heading 9010, 9013 or 9031) are to be classified with the machines, instruments or apparatus of that kind. (c) All other parts and accessories are to be classified in heading 9033. 3. The provisions of notes 3 and 4 to Section XVI apply also to this chapter. 4. Heading 9005 does not apply to telescopic sights for fitting to arms, periscopic telescopes for fitting to submarines or tanks, or to telescopes for machines, appliances, instruments or apparatus of this chapter or Section XVI; such telescopic sights and telescopes are to be classified in heading 9013. 5. Measuring or checking optical instruments, appliances or machines which, but for this note, could be classified both in heading 9013 and in heading 9031 are to be classified in heading 9031. 6. For the purposes of heading 9021, the expression ‘orthopaedic appliances’ means appliances for: — preventing or correcting bodily deformities; or — supporting or holding parts of the body following an illness, operation or injury. Orthopaedic appliances include footwear and special insoles designed to correct orthopaedic conditions, provided that they are either (1) made to measure or (2) mass-produced, presented singly and not in pairs and designed to fit either foot equally. 7. Heading 9032 applies only to: (a) instruments and apparatus for automatically controlling the flow, level, pressure or other variables of liquids or gases, or for automatically controlling temperature, whether or not their operation depends on an electrical phenomenon which varies according to the factor to be automatically controlled, which are designed to bring this factor to, and maintain it at, a desired value, stabilised against disturbances, by constantly or periodically measuring its actual value; and (b) automatic regulators of electrical quantities, and instruments or apparatus for automatically controlling non-electrical quantities the operation of which depends on an electrical phenomenon varying according to the factor to be controlled, which are designed to bring this factor to, and maintain it at, a desired value, stabilised against disturbances, by constantly or periodically measuring its actual value. Additional notes 1. For the purposes of subheadings 9015 30 10, 9025 80 40, 9026 10 21, 9026 10 29, 9026 20 20, 9026 80 20, 9027 10 10 and 9032 10 20, the expression ‘electronic’ means instruments and apparatus which incorporate one or more articles of heading 8540, 8541 or 8542 but for the purposes of the foregoing, no account shall be taken of articles of heading 8540, 8541 or 8542 which have solely the function of rectifying current or which are included in the power pack of instruments or apparatus. 2. For the purposes of subheading 9021 10 10, the expression "orthopaedic appliances" means appliances which are specially designed for a particular orthopaedic purpose, in distinction to products that might be used for various purposes (for example, products for overstrained joints, ligaments or tendons caused by sporting activities, type writing, and products which simply alleviate pain in the defective or disabled part of the body, for example, caused by inflammation). The "orthopaedic appliances" must completely prevent a specific movement of the defective or disabled part of the body (for example, joints, ligaments, tendons) in order to exclude further injuries or bodily deformities or an aggravation of such injuries or deformities, as distinct from other products that cannot prevent specific movements, yet prevent reflex movements (movements carried out subconsciously) through the relative inflexibility of those products due to, for example, flexible splints, pressure pads, non-elastic textile material, restrictions through "Velcro-type" straps.

EU classification regulations for 9001900000
Commission regulations that classified specific goods under this code. They bind customs in every member state for identical goods.
- 9001 90 00 Jun 5, 2009 · Regulation on EUR-Lex
A product consisting of a rectangular plate of semi-tempered glass upon which several anti-reflective and absorbent layers of plastic are bonded.
The product is not framed. It is used in the manufacture of plasma monitors.
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 9001 and 9001 90 00 . The layers of plastic give the product the characteristics of an optical element. Classification under heading 7007 as safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass, is excluded. Unmounted optical elements of plastics are covered by heading 9001 , whether or not optically worked (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 9001 , (D)). The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9001 90 00 as other optical elements.

Unmounted optical components consisting of precision‑manufactured lenses, windows, optical designed for use in thermal imaging and infrared (IR) systems. These components are typically produced from infrared‑transmitting materials (such as germanium, silicon, zinc selenide or similar compounds) to operate within specific infrared wavelength ranges. The items are supplied in unmounted form (i.e. not fitted into housings or assemblies) and are intended for integration into imaging devices, sensors, or optical systems used for temperature measurement, industrial monitoring, surveillance, or scientific applications. This can be for commercial applications.
