ANNEX

Description of the goods Classification(CN code) Reasons
(1) (2) (3)
An article made from several panels of close-woven textile fabric (canvas), sewn together to form a three-dimensional ‘shape’, measuring approximately 2,70 × 2,70 × 1,60 m, with a decorative overhang on all sides with a sewn-on welt along the edge. At each corner on the inside there is a small pocket for holding the article in place on a frame. It also has fabric ties along the seams to attach it to a frame.The article is presented without a frame, poles or accessories. 6306 90 00 Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 6306 and 6306 90 00.Heading 6306 covers a range of textile articles usually made from strong, close-woven canvas (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 6306, first paragraph).Due to its objective characteristics (three-dimensional design, material used, size, finishing), the article is designed to become an outdoor canopy.The article is presented without frame, poles or accessories, yet it has the essential character of an outdoor canopy (e.g. it has a canvas roof-covering offering protection from the elements) within the meaning of GIR 2(a).Classification as a tent under subheading 6306 22 00 or 6306 29 00 is excluded, because it has no sides or walls, which permit the formation of an enclosure (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 6306 (4)).The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6306 90 00 as ‘other camping good’.
