Description of the goods
A charger of the direct current converter type (so-called ‘Universal dual-port car charger’) comprising a car cigarette adapter, two USB interfaces and a light indicator. The charger has a voltage input of 12 V DC, a voltage output of 5 V DC and a current output of 500 mA or 2 × 250 mA. The charger is used for supplying power to charge various apparatus, such as mobile phones, PDA, GPS, cameras, MP3 and MP4 players.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504, 8504 40 and 8504 40 90. The product is a static converter of the direct current converter type (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8504, (II), point (D)). The charger can be used for charging a variety of apparatus, for example, telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines, audio/video recording or reproducing apparatus and radio navigational aid apparatus. Classification under CN code 8504 40 30 as static converters of a kind used with telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof is therefore excluded. The charger is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 40 90 as other static converters.
