law://eu/reg/2014/456@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 ‘radio-controlled socket set’) in a package containing two remote controlled switches and a remote control.Each remote controlled switch is in an individual housing consisting of a plug, a socket, a learning button, a switch and a radio receiver and is designed for a voltage of 230 V and a maximum current of 10 A.The learning button is used for identification between the switch and the remote control. It can also be used as a manual switch.The remote control works within a transmission frequency range of 433,05 - 434,79 MHz over a distance of approximately 30 m and controls both switches independently of each other.The product is used for switching on and off, by remote control, equipment connected to the sockets. | 85365080 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8536, 853650 and 85365080.The remote control controls the switches independently of each other. Consequently, the product cannot be considered as a functional unit within the meaning of note 4 to Section XVI as the individual components do not contribute together to a clearly defined function.Given its objective characteristics, the function of the product is switching on and off, by remote control, the equipment connected to the sockets. Classification under heading 8526 as radio remote control apparatus is therefore excluded.As the product is used as remote controlled switches, the plug and the socket are considered inherent components needed for its operation. Consequently, classification under subheading 85366990 as plugs and sockets is excluded.The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 85365080 as other switches for a voltage exceeding 60 V. |
