THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

(2)

Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

ANNEX

Description of the goods

Classification

(CN code)

Reasons

(1)

(2)

(3)

Composite goods made up of an artificial cherry tree branch and an electric lighting fitting with an electrical transformer. These components are attached to each other to form a practically inseparable whole.

The artificial branch resembles the natural product (a cherry tree branch with blossoms), made by assembling various parts (brown paper to imitate the twigs, wires to support them, adhesive bands to hold them together, white textile fabric imitating the petals of the blossoms and small plastic parts sustaining the blossoms). The parts are bound, glued and fitted together.

An electric light chain holding 60 micro electric bulbs is integrated into the artificial branch. The light bulbs represent the pistils of the blossoms. Due to their size the light bulbs give little illumination effect. The electric wire of the light chain holding the micro light bulbs is completely covered by the branch. The remaining, several metre long, electric wire leaves the main branch and ends in an electrical transformer.

The article is neither self-standing nor does it have any means by which it can be hung. It is designed to be placed in a vase.

6702 90 00

Classification is determined by General Rules (GIR) 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 6702 and 6702 90 00.

The article consists of composite goods within the meaning of GIR3(b). It is made up of artificial flowers of heading 6702, an electric lighting fitting of heading 9405 and an electrical transformer of heading 8504. The electric lighting fitting is integrated into the artificial flower branch to form an inseparable whole (See also the HS EN (Harmonised System Explanatory Notes) to GIR 3(b), (IX)).

Due to the objective characteristics of the article (it looks like a typical artificial flower; the light bulbs are tiny and give little illumination effect), the article is mainly designed to be placed in a vase and decorate the room as an imitation of flowers. The illumination is only an additional effect enhancing the decorative effect. Consequently, the artificial flower branch is the component that gives the article its essential character (i.e. as a decorative article) within the meaning of GIR 3(b).

The article cannot be classified as a lamp of heading 9405, because it is not primarily designed to illuminate for example a room, nor is it a specialised lamp (see also the HS EN to heading 9405, (I), (1) and (3)).

The artificial flower branch resembles the natural product (see also the HS EN to heading 6702, (1)). The article is therefore to be classified under heading 6702 as ‘榓rtificial flowers‘�
