law://eu/reg/2013/709@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) |
| A product (so-called ‘exhaust gas temperature sensor’) consisting of:a thermistor with a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 W, in its own housing,a fixing bolt,a shaft facilitating fixation inside a vehicle’s exhaust system,an electrical cable, with a heat resistant sleeve, which connects the product to a plug and which, in turn, enables connection to the vehicle’s engine management system.Depending on the temperature, the thermistor changes its resistance. When connected, this change of resistance produces a change of electrical current, which is transmitted to the engine management system.The product cannot convert the electrical current output into a temperature measurement or display the temperature. | 85332100 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8533 and 85332100.Classification under heading 9025 as a thermometer or as a part thereof is excluded as the product cannot measure nor display temperature.The product is a non-linear resistor the resistance of which changes with temperature and is not variable at will (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8533 (A)(5) and (B)).It is therefore to be classified under CN code 85332100 as other fixed resistors for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 W.’ |
