| Cable connectors (‘male or female type’) for a voltage not exceeding 1000 V, made of copper.The article has either a plug (so-called male type connector) or a socket (so-called female type connector) on one side and on the other side a contact device in the form of a clip shielded with a layer of insulating material.The article is used to connect wires or cables other than coaxial cables.The article makes the connection by plugging the ‘male connector’ into the ‘female connector’ without using any tools.See the imagenote | 85366990 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8536, 853669 and 85366990.The article presents the objective characteristics of a plug (‘male type connector’) or a socket (‘female type connector’) fitted with another contact device (see also Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 8536 group (III) letter (A), point (1), and also Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature to subheadings 85366910 to 85366990). Therefore its classification as other connections and contact elements for wire and cables under subheading 85369010 is excluded.Consequently, it is to be classified under CN code 85366990 as other plugs and sockets. |
