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.

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 9021100000

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

9021 10 10 Nov 16, 2011 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

A product consisting of a plastic collar shaped to fit the neck with a shock-absorbing foam layer and hook-and-loop fasteners (so-called "cervical collar").

It is used to support the cervical portion of a person's spinal cord (neck) and head, for example, when rescuing and transporting patients with suspected or known spinal injuries, or for supporting the neck of a person who has suffered an injury such as whiplash.

Reasons

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 6 to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9021 , 9021 10 and 9021 10 10 . The collar is considered to be an appliance for supporting or holding parts of the body following an illness, operation or injury within the meaning of Note 6 to Chapter 90. The product cannot be considered to be a splint or other fracture appliance as it is not used to immobilise part of the body following a fracture. Classification under CN code 9021 10 90 is therefore excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9021 10 10 as an orthopaedic appliance.
9021 10 90 Sep 8, 2022 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

A spinal fixation system kit consisting of, inter alia, screws, rods, plates, hooks, lateral connectors to be implanted in the human body for different medical treatments.

Depending on the medical diagnosis (fracture, deformation etc. of the spine) various parts of the article can be assembled to form a spinal fixation system (that is, an implant) during an operation. The implant joins and supports vertebrae, for example, after fracture or forces vertebrae back in line, for example, in the case of scoliosis or keeps vertebrae in position and supports them, for example, in the case of degenerative disc diseases. The article is equally suitable for each of those medical treatments. (See image of an assembled product) (*1)

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 2(a), 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 6 to Chapter 90 of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9021 , 9021 10 , 9021 10 10 and 9021 10 90 . The unassembled article has the essential character of the finished article within the meaning of GIR 2(a). The finished article is an appliance (a spinal fixation system) that, when implanted in the human body, joins vertebrae or keeps or forces vertebrae in position. Depending on the actual function the article eventually has within the body, it is either a fracture appliance (of CN code 9021 10 90 ) or an orthopaedic appliance (of CN code 9021 10 10 ). In its function as an orthopaedic appliance, it prevents or corrects bodily deformities (for example, in the case of scoliosis) or it supports or holds parts of the body (for example, in the case of degenerative disc disease) within the meaning of Note 6 to Chapter 90. Classification under code CN 9021 90 90 is excluded because the product is covered by more specific headings. At the time of importation, neither the actual nor the intended use of the article as either a fracture or an orthopaedic appliance is known. The intended use of the article is not inherent to the article, because it is not possible to determine from its objective characteristics and properties whether it is to become a fracture or an orthopaedic appliance, because it is equally suitable for both purposes. Consequently, at the time of importation, the principal function of the article within the meaning of Note 3 to Chapter 90 together with Note 3 to Section XVI is neither known nor can it be determined from its objective characteristics and properties. Therefore, the article is to be classified last in numerical order among the CN codes which equally merit consideration within the meaning of GIR 3(c) together with GIR 6. Consequently, the article is to be classified under CN code 9021 10 90 as splints and other fracture appliances.
9021 10 90 Nov 11, 2014 · Regulation on EUR-Lex

A cannulated, cylindrical, threaded product made of extra hard titanium alloy, of a length of between 20 to 56 mm.

The product has a cannulated shank with an outer diameter of 4 mm and a head with a hexagonal drive. The shank is wholly threaded in 2 mm increments. The product corresponds to the ISO/TC 150 standards for implant screws and is presented for use in the field of trauma surgery for setting fractures. It is to be installed in the body using specific tools and by means of a guide wire, which is to be inserted in the cannulated shaft and which allows precise placement through a small incision in the body. At importation, it is presented in a sterilised packing. The product is marked with a number and therefore traceable throughout production and distribution.

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 9021 , 9021 10 and 9021 10 90 . Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of the cannulated shaft, the product does not entirely correspond to a screw of base metal. Consequently, it cannot be considered a part of general use (screw) as referred to in note 2 to Section XV. Therefore, classification under heading 8108 is excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9021 10 90 as splints and other fracture appliances.

The product corresponds to the ISO/TC 150 standards for implant screws and is presented for use in trauma surgery as a part of a system for posterior stabilisation of the spine. It is installed using specific tools. At importation, it is not presented in a sterilised packing. The product is marked with a number and therefore traceable throughout production and distribution. (*1) See image

Reasons

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9021 , 9021 10 and 9021 10 90 . Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of the polyaxial U-shaped head with the locking cap, the product does not entirely correspond to a screw of base metal. Consequently, it cannot be considered a part of general use (screw) as referred to in note 2 to Section XV. Therefore, classification under heading 8108 is excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9021 10 90 as splints and other fracture appliances.

The SDO (Sensory Dynamic Orthosis) orthoses are made to measure and fully bespoke class 1 medical devices. These products are only available on the prescription of a qualified orthotist, neuro-physio or physiotherapist. They are designed and manufactured according to the needs of each individual patient and to address very specific medical conditions. The SDO orthoses both support the body in a fixed predetermined position and through the proprioceptive feedback have a carryover effect for muscle memory. Expansion zippers are typically also incorporated into the orthoses. These can be opened to relieve the tension for periods when the patient becomes fatigued and needs to rest from the correction enforced by the orthosis. The combination of proprioception from the base fabric, tension forces to realign the body from the panels under a calculated compression at specific points within the orthoses, are fundamental to the performance of SDO. The orthoses are used to support improvements in posture and stability, and to allow normalisation of postural tone, motor output, dynamic function of movement, fluency of movement, reduced involuntary movements, normalisation of tone. They are used to manage neurological conditions including cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, acquired spinal injury, cerebellar ataxia, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to name a few examples. They are used extensively in spinal muscular atrophy and muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne’s, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases to provide correction of the spine where scoliosis is present. The orthoses are not adjustable. Garments are packaged in a simple plastic sealed bag.

The SDO (Sensory Dynamic Orthosis) orthoses with Steels are made to measure and fully bespoke class 1 medical devices. These products are only available on the prescription of a qualified orthotist, neuro-physio or physiotherapist. They are designed and manufactured according to the needs of each individual patient and to address very specific medical conditions. The SDO orthoses both support the body in a fixed predetermined position and through the proprioceptive feedback have a carryover effect for muscle memory. Expansion zippers are typically also incorporated into the orthoses. These can be opened to relieve the tension for periods when the patient becomes fatigued and needs to rest from the correction enforced by the orthosis. The combination of proprioception from the base fabric, tension forces to realign the body from the panels under a calculated compression at specific points within the orthoses, are fundamental to the performance of SDO. The orthoses are used to support improvements in posture and stability, and to allow normalisation of postural tone, motor output, dynamic function of movement, fluency of movement, reduced involuntary movements, normalisation of tone. They are used to manage neurological conditions including cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, acquired spinal injury, cerebellar ataxia, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to name a few examples. They are used extensively in spinal muscular atrophy and muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne’s, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases to provide correction of the spine where scoliosis is present. Orthoses are supplied as standard with one or two flexi steels. The benefit of the steels is to provide an opportunity to deactivate muscles and allow the steels to literally take over and enable the patient to rest. The flexible steels or boning are incorporated into a fabric casing within the garment to provide additional support. The steels are removable for laundering. There are two types of steels. Type 1. Solid flexi steel which has been powder coated A) Steel thickness 0.8mm Steel width 11.0mm Lengths 10, 11, 13, 15, 17.5, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 38, 40cm B) Steel thickness 0.8mm Steel width 22.0mm Lengths 48.2, 26.5, 24.2 cm Type 2. Spiral stainless boning. Wire thickness 0.9mm Width 9.8mm Thickness 1.55mm Lengths 7, 10, 13, 15, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 31, 33, 36cm. One or two steels are included as standard specific to the orthosis type. The orthoses are not adjustable. Garments are packaged in a simple plastic sealed bag.
