Description of the goods
An article (so-called ‘mop head’) consisting of cords of textiles fixed to a plastic adaptor which is designed to connect the article with a handle. (See photograph) (*1)
Reasons
Classification is determined by general rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and by the wording of CN codes 9603, 9603 90 and 9603 90 99. A bundle of textile cords mounted on a handle constitutes a mop. The article is a bundle of cords of textiles fixed to a plastic adaptor which serves to connect the article with a handle. Consequently, the mop head should be considered an incomplete article which has the essential character of a mop within the meaning of GIR 2(a), because the plastic adaptor is designed to be mounted on a handle (See also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 9603, (D), first paragraph) The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 9603 90 99 as a ‘mop’.
