law://eu/reg/2016/613@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 article (so-called ‘monitor arm’) made of aluminium, consisting of two arms, movable joints, and an attaching part at each end of the article.It is designed to be fixed onto a wall, a desk or a rail at one end and to a monitor at the other.The article allows height/width/depth adjustment of the monitor fixed to it. The monitor can be moved in all directions as required by the user. Simultaneously the cables can be neatly concealed in the article.The article can also be adapted for use with tablets, telephones, etc.note See image | 76169990 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7616, 761699 and 76169990.Classification under heading 8428 as lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery is excluded as the main purpose of the article is to ensure that the equipment fixed to the arm is used advantageously from an ergonomic perspective. The apparatus fixed to the arm is not handled within the meaning of heading 8428 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8428).Since various types of apparatus can be fixed to the article, classification under heading 8473, as parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with machines of headings 8469 to 8472, is also excluded.Because the article does not perform any function distinctly from and independently of any other machine or appliance attached to it, classification under heading 8479, as other mechanical appliances having individual functions, is also excluded (see also the HSEN to heading 8479, third paragraph, (A)).The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 76169990, as other articles of aluminium. |
