ANNEX

Description of the goods Classification(CN code) Reasons
(1) (2) (3)
‘T’ shaped article of steel. The external diameter of the shoulders is 23 mm and the largest diameter of the central part of the article is 40 mm. Its lateral endings are bevelled, suitable for butt welding, and its third ending is threaded on the inside.The lateral endings are to be welded in between the panels of the radiator. The third ending is used for installing either a vent valve or a regulating valve, or for connecting the radiator with a pipe that connects it to, for example, a boiler.See the image. 7307 93 19 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(a) to Section XV, and by the wording of CN codes 7307, 7307 93 and 7307 93 19.The article has the objective characteristics of tube and pipe fittings classified under heading 7307. Articles of heading 7307 are, in accordance with note 2(a) to Section XV, parts of general use. As references to parts, inter alia, in Chapter 73 do not include references to parts of general use as defined in that note, classification of the article under heading 7322 as a part of radiators for central heating is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 7322, point (2)(a)).The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7307 93 19 as other butt welding tube or pipe fittings of steel with the greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm.
