Commission Regulation (EC) No 475/2009
Of 5 June 2009 — CELEX 32009R0475
Description of the goods
An article made of plastics (a so-called ‘cable seal’) (*1) with overall dimensions of approximately 1 cm (diameter) × 0,8 cm (length). The article has a central hole and is fitted with ribs on the outer surface. It is designed for use with electrical connectors in motor vehicles to protect the electrical connection from dust, moisture, oil and other elements ordinarily found in the environment of a car.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3926, 3926 90 and 3926 90 97. The article is not considered to be a part of an electrical apparatus within the meaning of Note 2(b) to Section XVI as its presence is not necessary for the connector to function but only improves its functionality. Classification under heading 8538 as a part suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8536 is therefore excluded. The product is not considered to be an insulating fitting for electrical appliances of heading 8547 as it is not specifically designed for insulating purposes but for protecting the electrical connections. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 3926 90 97, as other articles of plastics.
