ANNEX

Description of the goods Classification(CN-code) Reasons
(1) (2) (3)
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) 9603 90 99 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’.
