law://eu/reg/2017/1234@2026-11-12THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Codenote, and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,Whereas:
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification (CN code) | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A composite product consisting of the following components:a vertical aluminium column approximately 95 cm high, with an axle at the base and a plastic wheel affixed at either end of the axle,a foldable, horizontal aluminium board designed for standing on, with a plastic wheel affixed at the far end with a brake mechanism attached to it,a suitcase with an outer surface made of moulded plastic material, measuring approximately 55 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm and fixed to the vertical column by clamps which can be opened.The product is intended for use by anyone aged 8 or over. Its function as a means of transporting goods can be combined with its function as a scooter or, it can be drawn or pushed along in order to transport the suitcase on the wheels, when the horizontal board is up.See images of the articlenote. | 42021250 | Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 4202, 420212 and 42021250.The product is composite goods. Its main function is essentially to transport goods in the suitcase. This can be done either by someone standing on the horizontal board and propelling the product along (with the board folded down) or by someone pushing or pulling it along in the same way as a conventional trolley suitcase on wheels (with the board folded up).The scooter components (components not being parts of standard trolley bags, that is, the foldable horizontal board with a plastic wheel (with a brake)) are of subordinate character that facilitates the transport of goods contained in the suitcase. It is therefore the suitcase that gives the product its essential character. Classification under heading 8716 as other vehicles, or under heading 9503 as a scooter, is accordingly excluded.The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 42021250 as a suitcase with an outer surface of moulded plastic material. |
