Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9405, 9405 40 and 9405 40 99. Given its objective characteristics, such as the wide beam angle, the article is intended to be used for illuminating large areas. Consequently, classification under subheading 9405 40 10 as spotlights is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 9405, group (I), third paragraph). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 9405 40 99 as other electric lamps and lighting fittings.
