Commission Regulation (EC) No 888/2006
Of 16 June 2006 — CELEX 32006R0888
Description of the goods
A security device designed to gain access to records stored on an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine. It consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a printed circuit assembly and a battery encased in a plastic case which can be put on a key-ring. The device generates a sequence of six digit numbers, being specific to a particular user, and allows the user access to the records stored on an ADP machine. The device cannot be connected to an ADP machine and functions independently of such a machine.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8543, 8543 89. and 8543 89 97. The device is not classifiable under heading 8470 because it has no manual arrangements for data input nor has it a calculating function in the context of this heading (see HS Explanatory Notes to this heading). It is not classifiable under heading 8471, because it is not freely programmable in accordance with the requirements of the user (see Note 5(A)(a)(2) to Chapter 84), nor is it a unit of an automatic data-processing machine because it is not connectable to the central processing unit (see Note 5(B)(b) to Chapter 84). The device is classifiable under heading 8543 because it is an electrical apparatus with an individual function not specified or included elsewhere.
