33At the outset, it should be noted that, when the Court is requested to give a preliminary ruling on a matter of classification for customs purposes, its task is to provide the national courts with guidance on the criteria which will enable the latter to classify the products at issue correctly in the CN, rather than to effect that classification itself, a fortiori since the Court does not necessarily have available to it all the information which is essential in that regard. Since the national courts appear, in any event, to be in a better position to do so, it is therefore for them to classify for customs purposes the goods at issue in the main proceedings in the light of the information provided by the Court in response to the question submitted to it (see, to that effect, judgments of 15 May 2019, Korado, C‑306/18, EU:C:2019:414, paragraphs 33 and 34; of 16 May 2019, Estron, C‑138/18, EU:C:2019:419, paragraphs 67 to 69; and order of 27 February 2020, Gardinia Home Decor, C‑670/19, EU:C:2020:117, paragraph 35).
