Reasons
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7608, 7608 20 and 7608 20 20. Classification under CN code 8415 90 00 as parts of air-conditioning machines, under CN code 8419 90 85 as other parts of machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature or under CN code 8708 91 99 as parts of radiators of motor vehicles is excluded, because, on the basis of its objective characteristics the article is not identifiable as being solely or principally suitable for use with such articles (see note 2 (b) to Section XVI and note 3 to Section XVII). The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7608 20 20 as aluminium tubes and pipes, of welded aluminium alloys.
