law://eu/reg/2014/1213@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 cannulated, cylindrical, threaded product made of extra hard titanium alloy, of a length of between 20 to 56 mm.The product has a cannulated shank with an outer diameter of 4 mm and a head with a hexagonal drive. The shank is wholly threaded in 2 mm increments.The product corresponds to the ISO/TC 150 standards for implant screws and is presented for use in the field of trauma surgery for setting fractures.It is to be installed in the body using specific tools and by means of a guide wire, which is to be inserted in the cannulated shaft and which allows precise placement through a small incision in the body.At importation, it is presented in a sterilised packing. The product is marked with a number and therefore traceable throughout production and distribution. | 90211090 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 9021, 902110 and 90211090.Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of the cannulated shaft, the product does not entirely correspond to a screw of base metal. Consequently, it cannot be considered a part of general use (screw) as referred to in note 2 to Section XV. Therefore, classification under heading 8108 is excluded.The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 90211090 as splints and other fracture appliances. |
