law://eu/reg/2012/1109@2026-11-12THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariffnote, and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,Whereas:
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification(CN code) | Reasons |

| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| An electronic device (so-called ‘CCD area image sensor’) in a 60-pin ceramic package consisting of:3 charge coupled device (CCD) chips linearly arranged with an X-ray sensitive active area of approximately 220 × 6 mm. Each CCD chip has 1536 × 128 pixels with a pixel size of 48 × 48 μm,3 fibre optic plates with scintillators mounted on each CCD chip.The device has an output of integrated circuits.The device is installed in X-ray cameras to generate images. The fibre optic plates with scintillators convert the X-rays into visible light which is projected onto the CCD sensor. The CCD sensor converts the light into an electrical signal which is processed into an analogue or digital image.The device is designed for X-ray imaging. | 85299092 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8529, 852990 and 85299092.As the device is composed of several components, such as light sensitive cells, integrated circuits and fibre optic plates with scintillators, classification under heading 8541 as a photosensitive semiconductor device is excluded.As the device is suitable for use solely or principally with a digital X-ray camera, it is therefore to be classified under CN code 85299092 as a part of television cameras of subheading 85258019. |
