Of 28 November 2012 — CELEX 32012R1145
Description of the goods
Sterilised wipes made of non-wovens, put up in a plastic bag for retail sale. The wipes are impregnated, amongst other ingredients with demineralised water, detergent and skin conditioning cleansing agent. The product is alcohol free. According to the information provided, the product is designed for cleaning hands and face.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3401 and 3401 11 00. As the wipes are impregnated with detergent which gives the product its essential character, classification under headings 3304 and 3307 is excluded. The product is therefore to be classified under heading 3401 as non-wovens, impregnated, coated or covered with soap or detergent (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 3401, point (IV)).
